The station at the end is operated by Lincolnshire Wolds Railway: see https://lincolnshirewoldsrailway.co.uk/history-of-lwr Railway (running across the shot) was previously the East Lincolnshire line, operated by the Great Northern Railway Company. In 1923 the latter became part of the London Northern Eastern Railway (LNER), and in 1948 the line became part of British Railways following nationalisation. It closed finally in 1980. After the last section of line was closed by BR in 1980, the preservation society was formed with the aim of restoring it, and it presently runs to here from Ludborough.
