Added rambler train 1997
Part of the cutting behind the station collapsed in January 1991.<ref>SVR News 100 pp.18 and 36, SVR News 101 p.31</ref> Quarrying operations behind the station were blamed, and Steve Downes believes the quarry operators did the remedial work. The cutting side was re-profiled, giving the grassy slope we have today. Trees were planted at the top of the bank, to take up moisture from the soil.<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=131602261894762&set=pb.100066631855473.-2207520000 Eardington Facebook 24 June 2020] (Retrieved 23 April 2024)</ref>
