Present Day
The Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway reopened the line between Toddington and Winchcombe on 2 August 1987. A signal box was obtained from Hall Green and rebuilt on the foundations of the original structure, with the 37-lever frame coming from Honeybourne West Loop Box. The former Great Western Railway station building at Monmouth Troy was dismantled stone-by-stone and re-erected at Winchcombe in 1986. The platform slabs came from Birmingham Snow Hill and Cheltenham St James. Bidirectional signalling has been installed as has a passing loop through the station, which has been operational since 12 July 1997.

Famous quotes containing the words present and/or day:
“It is the dissenter, the theorist, the aspirant, who is quitting this ancient domain to embark on seas of adventure, who engages our interest. Omitting then for the present all notice of the stationary class, we shall find that the movement party divides itself into two classes, the actors, and the students.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“As a fond mother, when the day is o’er,
Leads by the hand her little child to bed,
Half willing, half reluctant to be led,”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
