Probably a question or an answer that is on here somewhere and I have missed it, but what was the line running speed? Always get the impression that the trains dawdled along rather than made any great progress.Continue

I've just been told by friends from Welford that there's a planning application to redevelop the Binton Station site:
Binton Station Planning Application May 2014
"Outline application for the development of up to 24 dwellings and change of use of existing Station House (Office) to residential"
Hopefully the railway buildings will be sympathetically treated.
Cheers,
Simon

Thanks for this update Simon.
I took a walk to Binton today and was reminded to check up on the status of this application - outline permission was granted on 11th March 2016. There is, however, no sign of any activity at the site. I've posted some photos from today.
Cheers,
Simon
The Binton station site is now for sale through Peter Clarke estate agents in Stratford, no details on their website yet though.
Great opportunity for a deep pocketed SMJ enthusiast!
Further to my mail, here is an extract from sales info.
'The site benefits from an outline planning permission for the erection of up to 24 dwellings, including retention of the existing Station House. Application Ref: 14/01391/OUT (with effect from the 11th March 2016) Stratford on Avon District Council.'
A belated update: Binton goods shed was demolished some time in July or August and the rest of the site cleared of the remnants of the gas storage business, the station building remains.
