Present Day
The station buildings and signal box have survived virtually intact in private ownership and are intermittently in use as tea-rooms. The goods shed is also still standing and once housed a railway museum, now closed and whose contents have been dispersed. A section of the trackbed to the south between Burgh and Bratoft is owned by the National Trust and is open as a footpath. The trackbed to the north has been severed just beyond the station by the bypass around the village.

Famous quotes containing the words present and/or day:
“Art for art’s sake? I should think so, and more so than ever at the present time. It is the one orderly product which our middling race has produced. It is the cry of a thousand sentinels, the echo from a thousand labyrinths, it is the lighthouse which cannot be hidden ... it is the best evidence we can have of our dignity.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“Listen, my children, and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-five;
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
