Quorn and Woodhouse railway station

Quorn and Woodhouse railway station is a heritage station on the Great Central Railway (preserved) serving Quorn & Woodhouse in Leicestershire. Travelling south from Loughborough, it is the first station that is reached (gbmappingsmall|SK549161). Here there is a large station yard which is suitable for parking, there is also disabled access through the yard (Loughborough only being accessible via stairs). Quorn is laid out to appear as it would in the 1940s, as a typical LNER station in the countryside. Quorn is the best place to watch trains pass on the double track, with the weekend timetable accommodating trains passing just north of Quorn & Woodhouse. The station is grade II listed [http://www.charnwood.gov.uk/environment/quorn.html#Quorn10a]
