The view south at the location of Kingswood Junction. Occasionally the local council will appear in the local press, puffing out their chests in pride at having kept the railway route intact should it ever be needed as a transport corridor again. Apparently building a house on the trackbed is the latest way of preserving the route. I wonder what the houseowner thinks of the recent proposals for a guided busway through here? |
