Inside the station building, the electrical supply within the shop has been rationalised and upgraded

Our volunteers have restored the fireplace in the former small tea room area and, in the same room, new shop units are being installed to better display the L & B clothing range. Other layout improvements are in progress within the shop area.

In the wood, accessed from the down platform, earlier improvements were made by our volunteers to paths for the benefit of our visitors. In addition, wood piles were created to provide wildlife habitats as well as a shallow pond.
