Notes: 
After a local campaign the residents of Ashdon were given a new halt which opened on the up side of the line on 14th August 1911. The platform was constructed of raised earth and clinker with sleeper frontage to the track and sleeper edging. An old GER carriage body was mounted on the platform in 1916 to act as a waiting room. The carriage was stripped internally and wooden benches fitted to the sides. The halt was never staffed.


if you visit this place it's now private land and beware the floor is just starting to rot out.... it is over 100 years old..
