Pure nostalgia. Lovely little visitor centre and the station itself is lovingly restored. Has a period tea room as seen in the film Brief Encounter which was part filmed at the station. Great value afternoon tea at £7.95. Also a little shop selling imported rugs which has a great selection.

It has a really good Visitors centre, bigger than we expected, with displays and information on the 1946 film Brief Encounter, Local Railway memorabilia, wartime memorabilia and the Station Buffet from the film selling tea and nice cakes. It appears to be run by... More
