Hardley Distant
HERITAGE: On Sunday 9th June 2024 I called into the Great Central Railway on my way home from a visit to stay with friends so that I could travel on the Mountsorrel Branch of the Railway and thus complete the Station visits for the Great Central Railway. Having parked at Quorn & Woodhouse Station I caught the DMU shuttle service from there to Mountsorrel (a service which reverses at Swithland. After travelling back down from Mountsorrel and through Swithland the train passes just beyond Rothley Station and then reverses before stopping at Rothley and then heading back to Quorn & Woodhouse.
