I rarely approach the station from Charlton Road on foot, but I did today to save opening the gate.
This is today's view of the station from this angle. It really is beginning to look like a functioning station again, particularly with the cosmetically-almost-complete signalbox back!
Imagine if the early founders of the S&D Trackbed Trust had failed and that this site had become yet another faceless and boring housing estate? That was the point when the future of the S&D started again, just a couple of years after the demolition of the Berlin Wall marked a new era in Europe, signalling the empowering of local people over state bureaucracy.
