High Bentham Railway Station

Not long after we arrived in Bentham (1953) the stone station building was replaced with a plain, mainly concrete affair (right). Ugly and long since unstaffed. What a pleasant contrast the shelter on the other platform makes.

This is the spot just beyond the station where my Dad pulled the communication chord on a long holiday train that failed to pull up twice. He narrowly escaped being fined as we made our way along the trackside back to the station.
