Burton Dassett Platform: smjbd83
A side on view of Burton Dassett Platform showing the
storage facilities on the left and the office on the right. The platform has
been built using old but sound railway sleepers with a hardstanding made of
hard-core covered with compacted aggregates. The large pair of doors are
unusual and not explained in either Arthur Jordan's or JM Dunn's books. The
structure was solely used for the sidings and without passenger services
calling at the station it is unlikely that there was any parcels traffic. The
route as a whole was very lightly populated with Burton Dassett being no
exception and with Fenny Compton being only two miles away its hard to
understand why this configuration was adopted.
