About the station

The Village Station is served by the Larkstone line. One train leaves The Village each day: the 11:06 Larkstone line service. The former branch line is closed. Passenger services on that line ended in 1968. The station building is in the process of refurbishment.

Station notes

The same two names appear on all surviving timetables held by the parish. No corresponding entries concerning retirement, transfer, or replacement have been found.

Parish Council minutes make occasional mention of the intended "cancellation of the 11:06 service."

The references are generally brief and appear under Other Business. No further particulars are given and it may be noted that the timetables have no other service other than the 11:06 listed.

A number of residents have independently remarked upon the absence of any kind of waiting room and that the general atmosphere of the station is not welcoming.

Visitors are reminded that commemorative tickets issued during heritage events should be surrendered before leaving the station.
