Didn't know that. Explains why a lot of railway cuttings are filled in so
quick after closure.

A building contractor would love such a site - close by to central
London, cheaper than a commercial tip, thus gaining them time and money.
Planning restrictions are much lighter too, there would be virtually no
chance of using it for rubbish/landfill, but filling with soil is
usually allowed with certain restrictions.

I wonder if they demolished all the station paraphenalia first or just
entombed the lot. Will the 23rd century edition of Time Team be unearthing
the platforms perhaps?
