Trumpers Way level crossing

This well-used pedestrian crossing links Trumpers Way with Warren Farm. It crosses the freight-only Brentford branch line, which runs for four miles between Southall and a waste transfer station in Brentford. When it opened in 1859 the line took freight into Brentford Dock, giving the Great Western Railway a connection to the Thames. Passenger services began in 1860. By 1904 a halt had been built at Trumpers crossing but it closed in 1926, with passenger services withdrawn in 1942. Link

The line is now used infrequently by goods trains carrying refuse and construction aggregates.

January 29th 2022 was mild, reaching at least 14C, but the WNW wind was brisk and distinctly chilly. The trees along the far side of the lake are nearly all alders - though there's a willow growing part-submerged at the near end of the row,

Southall railway station, Greater London

Opened in 1839 by the Great Western Railway on the line from London Paddington to Reading. View west towards Hayes & Harlington and Reading. Until 1942, this was the junction for the Brentford Dock branch. Since TQ1279 : Southall railway station, Greater London, 2009, the view has been obscured by a new footbridge, a new entrance building has been built on the right (also partially obscured) and the 1876 street-level building is no longer used by passengers.
