Ghost Stations

OK, two of my passions are transport and history but for me the mixing the 2 are better still.

There are many websites with regards to the ghost stations of London's Underground, but when you start to look outside London it does become harder to reasearch.

There is this one with regards to a little known Glaswegian station - Glasgow Botanical Gardens Station - open in 1893 and closed in 1939 but the line fully closed in 1960.

Then there is this site showing photos from Manchester Mayfield Station (literally next door to Manchester Piccadilly)

I went to Famagusta (Cyprus) last year. This must be one of the biggest ghost towns on the planet. The Turks kicked out all the Christian Greeks in '74. They basically told them that they have a few hours to get their belonging and piss off. It is one spookey place.

No need to state the obvious.

That island looks like the one from Skyfall. It's pretty crazy to think it was just abandoned. Also in Skyfall there is mention of a ghost tube station.

It is the island in skyfall.

Its a UNESCO world heritage site now as well.

Skyfall = great film.

In fact, after the franchise killer that was Die Another Day, the 007 production team have made 3 good "back to basics" rebooted Bond films.
