The station has seen no passengers for over 20 years but appears to be in remarkably good condition. An occasional goods train will still pass by on its way to Thornbury but not for much longer - the service will be withdrawn later in the year. However, that closure would only be temporary because stone traffic to Tytherington Quarry, about ½ mile behind me, would resume in 1972. At some stage the station building has been demolished - probably shortly after the 1966 closure.
