Closure
The Wansford service never regained the traffic lost during the general strike, and closed to passengers in 1929. Ordnance Survey maps of 1946 show the line as in situ, but disused, from Stamford to half a mile north of Wansford Road station. The Essendine service survived until 1959, but East station closed to passengers two years earlier in 1957 when services were diverted to the Midland station.
East station continued in use for a few years as a goods station, and Priory Siding survived into the 1970s although truncated to the Blackstones works.
