Donington-on-Bain Station
Donington-on-Bain is a delightful village in the Lincolnshire Wolds. It was once served by a railway station, some one mile distant from the centre of the village on the pretty little branch line that ran betwixt Louth snd Bardney. Opened on 1st December 1876 as Donnington-on-Bain, it was later amended to the correctly spelt Donington-on-Bain from 1st January 1877. The passenger services here, and along the entire branch, ceased on 5th November 1951. Goods services between Louth and Donington-on-Bain ended on 15th December 1956, thus leaving it to become the terminus of the line until it was truncated further to Wragby, when goods was withdrawn from 1st December 1958. I visited the station on 16th September 2020 to find the main building now in use as a private residence. Also extant, was the Weighbridge Office near the entrance. A bridge carries the minor road over the trackbed. This view from it, shows the course of the route towards Louth. ...
