Branch lines



Nanstallon Halt
(1834 - 1967)


Opened here as part of the original line was a single siding, or wharf, which at one time included a goods shed. Latterly the siding was gated. The wharf was taken out of use on May 2 1960 and removed in 1961

The rough track which crossed the railway at this location was improved for the opening of the halt in July 1906 which was of timber construction without any form of shelter. A pagoda-type shelter was provided later which lasted into the 1960s

The early rail motor service made 14 trips each day, with the service reducing to 8 each way in 1938 and 7 each way immediately before closure

The station closed to passengers on January 30 1967 and the station survives in a poor state, most of the platform has been taken over by bushes, with one of the old station buildings used as a garden shed. Remnants of the former level crossing can still be seen.
