Bude
Exterior of the former Bude station, Cornwall, once served by a portion of the famous Atlantic Coast Express, seen here abandoned and derelict in June 1974. This seaside terminus was closed in October 1966 after only 68 years, another victim of the infamous Beeching cuts. Had the then Minister of Transport, the non-driving Barbara Castle had a holiday home at Bude, as she did at St. Ives (which branch line from St. Erth she saved), Bude may well still have had a railway today.
