On the Great Western Railway situated approximately 47.53 km (29.54 mi) South West of Paddington Station is the small station of Crowthorne, serving the village of the same name.
Crowthorne Station came into being in 1859 after pressure from the |Governors of the local exclusive school “Wellington College” lobbied for it’s construction. Even paying £500 towards it’s construction.
In fact, so influential was the college, that the original name of the station was “Wellington College for Crowthorne”. This name stayed in place until June 1928 when its present name “Crowthorne” came into effect.
The original name board was in fact only removed during World War II – to prevent invading paratroopers from knowing where they were.
The village centre is located some distance away (2KM – 1.24 Mi), yet only 900 metres from Wellington College.
Goods services were withdrawn in 1964, and following the reduction of British Rail staff in the mid 1960’s the station buildings fell into dis-repair. Some 20 years later, there was a rejuvenation project, with the aim of creating local jobs, with the station buildings renovated and the waiting shelter on Platform 2 replaced.
Also to be found at the station is the imposing and extremely loud siren, tested every Monday at 10:00 am. This is part of the Broadmoor Hospital’s security system and would be sounded in case of an escaped inmate.
Trains run hourly every day of the week, with more frequent services during peak periods. Most of these run between Reading and Red Hill. Some services provide a link to Gatwick Airport.
Thank you for watching. We hope you have enjoyed learning about another British local station.

Places to see in ( Camberley - UK )
Camberley is an affluent town in Surrey, England, 31 miles southwest of Central London, between the M3 and M4 motorways. Camberley is in the far west of the county, close to the borders of Hampshire and Berkshire; the boundaries intersect on the western edge of the town where all three counties converge on the A30 national route. Camberley is the main town in the borough of Surrey Heath. Camberley's suburbs include Crawley Hill, Yorktown, Diamond Ridge, Heatherside, and Old Dean.
Camberley is in the far west of Surrey, adjacent to the boundaries of Hampshire's Hart district and Berkshire's Bracknell Forest district. It lies directly between the A30 national route and M3 motorway (junction 4 exit). It is at the northern edge of the Blackwater Valley conurbation, 5 miles (8.0 km) north of Farnborough, 8 miles (13 km) south of Bracknell and 17 miles (27 km) east of Basingstoke.
Camberley's town centre is host to The Mall shopping centre, built around the Main Square. This is a late 1980s development anchored by stores such as House of Fraser. The High Street has a number of shops as well as bars and clubs, many of the latter being more recent additions. There are a number of secondary shopping streets including Park Street, Princess Way and parts of London Road, including the Atrium development.
The town's theatre, Camberley Theatre, is owned and managed by Surrey Heath Borough Council. A familiar landmark in Camberley is the concrete pipe white elephant which is on the A30 approaching The Meadows roundabout. This was created as advertising by a pipe company which rented the premises. When they closed down, the upkeep of the elephant was written into the tenancy contract, so subsequent businesses have continued to look after it.
Camberley railway station is immediately south of the commercial centre on the Ascot to Guildford line, connected to Guildford, Aldershot in the south and Ascot to the north with two trains per hour in each direction.

Walking around the Bucklers Forest at Bucklers Park (former TRL test track site, Crowthorne)
This video quickly explores the new Buckler’s Forest walk at the former Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) test track in Crowthorne, England. The former test track site still has the old road route, banked curve and fire tower.
It was a very cold morning so there are a few sites not shown in this video so you’ll have to explore them yourselves. 😊
For those geocachers out there, the Forest has plenty of clever hides.

Places to see in ( Wellington - UK )
Places to see in ( Wellington - UK )
Wellington is a small industrial town in rural Somerset, England, situated 7 miles south west of Taunton in the Taunton Deane district, near the border with Devon, which runs along the Blackdown Hills to the south of the town. Known as Weolingtun in the Anglo-Saxon period, its name had changed to Walintone by the time of the Domesday Book of 1086.
Wellington became a town under a royal charter of 1215 and during the Middle Ages it grew as a centre for trade on the road from Bristol to Exeter. Major rebuilding took place following a fire in the town in 1731, after which it became a centre for cloth-making. Wellington gave its name to the first Duke of Wellington, Arthur Wellesley, who is commemorated by the nearby Wellington Monument. The Grand Western Canal reached the town in 1835 and then the Bristol and Exeter Railway in 1843. The town's own railway station survived until 1964. Wellington was home of Fox, Fowler and Company, which was the last commercial bank permitted to print their own sterling banknotes in England and Wales. In the 20th century closer links with Taunton meant that many of the residents of Wellington commuted there for work, and the M5 motorway enabled car journeys to be made more easily.
Local industries, which now include an aerosol factory and bed manufacturers, are celebrated at the Wellington Museum in Fore street. Wellington is home to the independent Wellington School, and state-funded Court Fields School. It is also home to a range of cultural, sporting and religious sites including the 15th century Church of St John the Baptist. The capital city of New Zealand is named after Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, thus his title comes from the town of Wellington, Somerset, England.
Wellington gave its name to the first Duke of Wellington, Arthur Wellesley. Nearby Wellington Hill boasts a large, spotlit obelisk to his honour, the Wellington Monument. The Wellington Monument is a floodlit 175 feet (53 m) high triangular tower designated by English Heritage as a grade II* listed building. It was erected to celebrate the Duke of Wellington's victory at the Battle of Waterloo. The foundation stone was laid in 1817, on land belonging to the Duke, but the monument was not completed until 1854. It is now owned by the National Trust, who announced plans to reclad the monument at a cost of £4 million in 2009.
The town has many dependent villages including West Buckland, Langford Budville, Nynehead, Sampford Arundel and Sampford Moor. The formerly independent village of Rockwell Green, to the west of the town, has been incorporated into the town however there is still a green wedge of land in between them. Wellington Park was a gift from the Quaker Fox family to the town in 1903 as a memorial to the coronation of King Edward VII.
The town was served by Wellington railway station on the Bristol and Exeter Railway from 1 May 1843 until 5 October 1964. It was here that extra locomotives were attached to heavy trains to help them up the incline to Whiteball Tunnel on their way south. The railway from Penzance to London, and also to Bristol and the North, continue to pass through the town, but no trains stop. The nearest railway stations are Taunton and Tiverton Parkway. A campaign was started to reopen the railway station in 2009.

The Ramblers Route: Martin's Heron To Crowthorne 9 June 2016
The Ramblers Route is a 26 mile long distance footpath that encircles the town of Bracknell. This is a 7.5 mile stretch of the path from near Martin's Heron station to Crowthorne station. I also had to walk an additional mile along the B3430 road to join the Ramblers Route path. Because of the lack of waymarks on the ground, it is essential to download the guide to the path (search Ramblers Route Bracknell in Google. I would also suggest carrying the Ordnance Survey map (No. 175 in the Landranger series). The walk took place in sunny, hot and humid weather on Thursday 9 June 2016.
Redruth Station

On Thursday 31 May 1883 the Hayle Railway opened the station of Redruth on the western side of the town. The main purpose of the line was to move goods from the local mines to the harbour at Portreath and Hale. From May 1843 a passenger service operated with almost 200 passengers on the maiden service from Redruth to Hale.
On the third of November 1846 the line was taken over by the WCR. (West Country Railway). The line was re-built, with a new viaduct, towering 61 feet built over the town and a new station opened at the Eastern End of the line in May 1852. The line was extended further to a temporary station at Truro Highertown culminating in a station at Newham Warf, Truro in1855. Todays Truro station was finally reached, through the short tunnel previously constructed in1859. There was an issue stopping through trains – in that there were two different gauges involved. This needed to be resolved before trains could proceed. This was not attained until 1867. GWR (Great Western Railway)replaced the main station buildings in the 1930’s. An old wooden shelter still remains on the Westbound Platform as does the 1888 footbridge.
The station is on the side of a hill with the road climbing steeply from beneath the viaduct at the west end of the station, to climb over the tunnel at the east end. Where the road and railway are on the same level is the entrance to the station. The main offices are on the eastbound platform and a footbridge to the westbound platform spans the tracks near the entrance. There is step-free access to this platform from an approach road on that side of the line.
The wooden Isambard Kingdom Brunel designed 489 foot (149Mtr) viaduct was replaced in 1888 by a masonry viaduct for GWR by JP Magery. At that point it became a dual rather than a single line viaduct with the original wide gauge replaced by standard gauge tracks.
On the opening of the new West Cornwall Railway station the original Hayle Railway station reverted to a goods depot with access provided and controlled by the Redruth Junction signal box, similarly controlling access to the Tres-avean mine branch line.
Redruth is served by all Great Western Railway trains on the Cornish Main Line between Penzance and Plymouth with one train per hour in each direction. Some trains run through to or from London Paddington, including the Night Riviera overnight sleeping car service and the mid-morning Cornish Riviera. There are a limited number of CrossCountry trains providing a service to Glasgow Central, Manchester Piccadilly (Sundays only) or Dundee in the morning and returning in the evening (three each way in the summer 2019 timetable).
Winnats Pass [4K] | Castleton Derbyshire | National Trust Peak District |
Winnats Pass (or Winnats, as shown on some Ordnance Survey maps) is a hill pass and limestone gorge in the Peak District of Derbyshire, England. The name is a corruption of 'wind gates' due to the swirling winds through the pass. It lies west of the village of Castleton, in the National Trust's High Peak Estate and the High Peak borough of Derbyshire. The road winds through a cleft, surrounded by high limestone ridges. At the foot of the pass is the entrance to Speedwell Cavern, a karst cave accessed through a flooded lead mine, and which is a popular tourist attraction.
In the 1930s Winnats Pass was the location used for annual access rallies in support of greater access to the moorlands or the Peak District, around the time of the Mass Trespass of Kinder Scout. At their peak these were attended by up to 10,000 people.
The permanent closure of the main A625 road at Mam Tor in 1979 due to subsidence has resulted in Winnats Pass being heavily used by road traffic. However, the narrowness of the road and its maximum gradient of over 28% (1 in 3+1⁄2) has caused it to be closed to buses, coaches and vehicles over 7.5 tonnes in weight. The road regularly features in the Tour of the Peak cycle race each autumn.
The gorge of Winnats Pass was once thought to have originated as a giant collapsed cavern; however, this idea has since been superseded. Winnats Pass can be seen to cut steeply down through Lower Carboniferous limestone rocks. These were formed approximately 340 million years ago as a reef fringing a shallow lagoon, with deeper water beyond. The presence of a small outcrop of fossiliferous rock (known as 'beach beds') at the base of Winnats Pass, close to Speedwell Cavern, suggests that a contemporary underwater cleft or canyon once existed within the active reef which caused the build up of shelly and crinoidal remains at its base. All these sediments were subsequently buried together under Namurian sandstones and shales in the subsequent Upper Carboniferous period. They were subsequently uplifted, but were only re-exposed by periglacial erosion towards the end of the Pleistocene. Melting water would have flowed along any lines of weakness within the reef limestone, such as those created by the presence of the original underwater cleft in the reef, carving out the gorge seen today.
Hieracium naviense is a species of hawkweed whose only world location is found at Winnats Pass. It is a native perennial plant, first discovered growing on limestone outcrops in 1966. According to the Flora of Derbyshire, it has been refound there on a number of occasions since, most recently in 2013.
A local legend is that the pass is haunted by a young couple Alan and Clara who eloped in 1758, only to be robbed and murdered by miners as they headed through Winnats Pass, on their way to Peak Forest Chapel. The miners hid their bodies in a mine shaft where they were discovered 10 years later.
