West Grafton: Former Grafton and Burbage railway station
Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 12 Jul 2009
This a view taken looking up the former Midland & South Western Junction Railway's main line towards the former Grafton and Burbage railway station. Never the busiest of lines in terms of ordinary passenger trains, and even less busy at this station, by 1953 there were just 4 southbound trains that stopped here a day, and, by one of those oddities of railway timetables, only 3 northbound. The line closed in 1961 and the station is today a private residence. This was taken from the public footpath between East and West Grafton that crosses over the line.
