Langrick railway station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Langrick railway station was a station in Langrick, Lincolnshire, England, on the line between Boston and Lincoln.[1]

Langrick Station Café

The site of the old station house is now occupied by Langrick Station Cafe. The possibility that the building now standing is a much-converted original station house has been disputed. The building does however stand on the same axis as the original, on Ferry Lane, in Langrick.[2]

Former Railway line

The station had two brick platforms immediately east of the level crossing on Ferry Road. The main building stood at right angles to the platform, with the booking office behind the station masters house which led to a waiting room facing onto the "up" platform. The signal box was sited at the east end of the station.[2]

The Water Rail Way is a Sustrans cycle route (number one) which follows the line of the former Lincoln to Boston railway line, including Langrick. [3]
