What an act of vandalism, removing the lovely old LBSCR station buildings that dated back to about 1882. So very sad. The last ones of their kind on the main railway network.
Dr. Richard Beeching did more damage to the railway network than Hermann Goering's Luftwaffe, These images are a reminder that one time East Grinstead not only had a superb looking station but had excellent railway connections with London, Tunbridge Wells and Three Bridges etc. etc. The Beeching cuts were driven by political insanity and corruption.
Thank you for posting these fantastic photos of EG. Very helpful, as I am attempting to make a model! Such a disgrace that so much was swept away, without thought for future growth. Do you happen to have any pics inside the signal boxes there please?
Sorry for the delay in replying (I only just realised I had your enquiry) but the only internal pictures I have are inside South box. There are a couple in this compilation: th-cam.com/video/WFd4bYaKYhM/w-d-xo.html
Good to see old East Grinstead again, lots of memories as a teenager using the train to the Oxted disco on a Friday night,
