These tracks at Ascot Station in Berkshire used to connect through to the line from Guildford, but when the Station track layout was re-modelled in the 1960s, they became sidings for the berthing of trains on race days at the nearby Royal Ascot Racecourse. The sidings in turn fell out of use in the mid 1980s and nature is well and truly taking over some 35 x years later.© Tim Penycate

A Silver Birch has grown up through an old disused Station platform at Ascot Station in Berkshire. Although Ascot Station is still very much in use, this Platform has not seen a Train since the mid 1980s. Nature takes over!

The Longmoor Military Railway was an extensive military railway system around the Bordon area of Hampshire until the late 1960s and early 1970s. Before the main railway was built, an old narrow gauge line used to exist for moving military equipment, but this was lifted over 120 x years ago. This is one of the old narrow gauge rails abandoned at that time which is shown by the tree has actually grown around the rail!

All quiet now! Nature rapidly reclaiming an old tank trackway

From the album: The statues: Hogmoor Inclosure photos
One of the old trackways in the Hogmoor Inclosure, which the British Army once used to train military tank drivers - now a local nature reserve. These trackways used to be gloriously full of deep, water-filled ruts and the sound of the mighty army tanks rumbling by. It's only a few short years since the Army pulled out of the Inclosure but all of the old tank driver training routes are rapidly returning to nature.
