Old Ashley rail line

Occasional structures dotted along the the Castleman trail remind you that once we had an integrated public transport system which connected all the regions and even the smallest of town. Now though, over grown and wooded, the old line is popular with walkers and cyclists, a handy way to get about and avoid the traffic. Here a small railways building, which gives no hint of its previous use, has become shelter to fag smoking youth, rain dodging dog walkers and even, as the graffiti reads, a composer R Burke who in October 1993 'composed a major part of his symphony no1 in e minor'.  Funny place to write a symphony, but then when creativity strikes.
