[TRIVIA] Stations closed Post Beeching!

[scragend]

Imagination said broad Street earlier in this thread
Didnt Dalston Junction close the same day 27 June 1986?
It did reopen 27 April 2010

London Broad Street though!

Ignoring stations since reopened as part of the national rail network, replaced by trams, metros or new nearby stations or simply moved to a different site (including multiple stations replaced by single ones):

...
Balloch Pier (1986)
London Broad Street (1986)
Cefn Onn (1986)
...

EDIT: Sorry, I think I might have misunderstood. Confusion arising from Pendleton once being Pendleton (Broad Street)!

I think Norton Bridge is the only official closure since Etruria in 2005 (although trains had not called at Norton Bridge since 2004), apart from the Oldham loop stations, Garston and the North Woolwich branch, all of which have effectively been replaced by a light rail stop (or relocated in the case of Garston).

What about the line from Bridge of Earn to Dunfermline via Glenfarg and Kinross

Not in the Beeching report and closed to allow the building of a motorway

Rams Line Halt was just outside Derby on the line to Burton but didn't open until 1990 and was only used four times for football specials.
If you include dedicated football stations then Boothferry Park Hull, Watford Stadium and Ashton Gate Bristol City are three others - not to mention Old Trafford which may or may not be eligible for the list.

Then of course there were all the closed stations up and down the country which continued to be used by excursions. I remember Askern in particular to the north of Doncaster which closed long before Beeching that had a healthy custom for BR excursions in the 1970s with tickets sold by the hairdresser in the village.

Garston, Merseyside was closed 2006, although replaced by Liverpool South Parkway Merseyrail section in the other side of the bridge, & Allerton was closed later than Norton Bridge, although Liverpool South Parkway main line is built on the old Allerton site.

Allerton was closed in 2005 and Norton Bridge closed in 2017 (although services were suspended since May 2004).

Whilst it took place in 1966 it is arguable that the closure of Oswestry took place post-Beeching in so far as the station and associated branch to Gobowen as a passenger route were not identified for closure in the Beeching report. I do however accept that the closure did take place in what is generally considered to be the Beeching era.

Peartree? still open. But Sinfin North and Sinfin Central were opened on 4 October 1976 and closed on 17 May 1993
Peartree was opened on 4/10/76 but remained open after the sinfin closure served by 'mainline' trains.

Southport St. Lukes, line not proposed for closure by Beeching, and still open. Station closed by BR in 1968,, i.e. during the Beeching era.
