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:
“If I had my life over again I should form the habit of nightly composing myself to thoughts of death. I would practise, as it were, the remembrance of death. There is no other practice which so intensifies life. Death, when it approaches, ought not to take one by surprise. It should be part of the full expectancy of life. Without an ever- present sense of death life is insipid. You might as well live on the whites of eggs.”
—Muriel Spark (b. 1918)
“A day for toil, an hour for sport,
But for a friend is life too short.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
