The old station house is now a private residence but one with plenty of reminders of the Midland Railway, including a lamp standard, a boundary marker and a wall-mounted lantern with glass tablet. The signal box is now defunct but there are plans to re-locate and reopen it as a small museum in a position where it can be accessed more easily.
This was my longest cycle ride yet in my “new bike” era. My destination was about an hour from home. I heard partridge, green woodpecker and buzzard calling and there were lapwings wheeling overhead in a couple of places - nice signs of spring.
