Hi guys i am working in and around the southeast and was sent to do a job near Heathrow Airport when i found myself crossing what had at one time been a level crossing. The remains of the line appear to feed Colnbrook freight depot and stop on the north side of the crossing.
Can anyone say where this line led and was it passenger or just freight as there are gravel workings nearby and it may have been used for this purpose.
Unidentified line possibly GWR
