Did you know...?

Passenger traffic was mainly light but provided a vital lifeline to the residents of the small village before buses became mainstream. Upon suspension of passenger services in 1947, the station effectively closed except for some goods including milk and honey. This is why the railway is sometimes referred to as "The Milk and Honey Line". Today, the railway sidings have been lifted however the station building and Crossing Keepers House are still in existance as private residences. Idridgehay Station is home to British Rail 1980's experimental solar panels that were installed to power the level crossing lights. The technology was pioneering at the time and must have been very good because the solar panels are still operational to this day!
