Hi
I have been poking my nose into a couple of books recently- namely Mike Horne's Metropolitan Line history and Middleton Press' 'Baker Street to Uxbridge'. My querry is related to freight traffic at Uxbridge. Horne states that the station in Belmont Road in Uxbridge closed from 4th December 1938 with the new one taking over from that date. Middleton Press state that Uxbridge Goods Yard closed on 1st May 1939. Did the 'new' Uxbridge have any provision for goods traffic or was the old goods yard at the so-called Belmont Road station retained for 6 months after the opening of the new station?
Apologies for keep asking questions and thanks in advance.
