66599 passes Park Drain (between Doncaster and Gainsborough) on 13 March 2013 with the 07:43 Sudforth Lane to Immingham coal empties. This was a surprising site for a station, in the sparsely populated flat landscape well away from any large centres of population. Even more surprising was the nearby hotel, which must surely have been a very optimistic speculative build. The station closed to passengers in 1955 and goods in 1964. |
