The Abandoned Ashley Heath Train Station (11/01/2025)

So for TFT's Travels today I head to the abandoned Ashley Heath Railway Station, as it happened to be en route to where I was heading, so heading down this creepy forest path, not far from the local OneStop,

I make it to the station, because I was also filming a part of an unreleased YouTube video that probably won't be out until Summer or autumn (fall), as it is an extensive video, I captured my full experience there, from nearly falling off the platform, to getting amazing shots of the surrounding area.

Then, I saw the information board, feel free to read.

After that, I walked a bit further down, to where I got a nice shot of the station sign. 

Then, I walked further, to the end of the platform and was able to get on it.

It was nice walking along the platform, it really takes you back to the days when this station was in use, which I would have loved to have seen. I also have this photo courtesy of Disused Stations, I'm stood by the sign on the right currently.

I do find it incredible how that works, because that was taken sometime in the 1960s, and this is the same spot in 2025:

There is such a contrast between the 2 and I find it quite amazing how they can change over time, however, it's a shame the old shed is no longer there, or at the minimum that I could see.

And another comparison, this image below is the station in 1974, and the photo below is the 2025 comparison, albeit a bit blurry as I was planning the video and didn't get the best shot at that point.

Once again it goes without saying they look like 2 very different places. Now I walked off the platform, which while I was filming the wild life, I nearly fell of the platform, take a look: https://youtu.be/NaJ5sIxY5ss so that nearly went very wrong, anyway I then got a few more station sign photos before leaving (+ an edit which I'm very proud of)

I do love making photo edits, however wrapping things up I get a few final station & wild life shots and then get another cool photo + an edit

Then I saw a fallen tree, 

And then it was time to head to Burger King, which wraps up this TFT Travel, however before I end this there is one thing I would like to mention that I'm yet to, which is this:

Now I'm sure your thinking it's just a main road with a foot crossing, but this area has a bigger past than some may think, because this area originally looked like this:

It was an old level crossing controlled by the workers of the OneStop shop, or it's 1960s equivalent, which is hard to believe looking at the present day image, however no traces of it can be found now. Thanks all for reading and I'll see you all in the next TFT Travel.
