Former Midland Railway station now a mecca for real ale. A real gem, the bar occupies the former ladies waiting room with gas lighting and walls adorned with enamel advertising panels and railway photos plus many CAMRA awards. On the platform, carriages provide a meeting room, Northants skittles, and a buffet for the numerous open days held during the summer when steam and diesel train trips are provided. A beer festival is held in September. Visitors with the guide are asked to sign in the book.
