Wykeham Station

Wykeham Station was situated to the north of the village and was originally named Ruston.

The yard had only two sidings, one for the coal drops and the second had a two tone crane. There was a weigh house near the main road, while the railway and station building held an elevated position. It was the only station on the branch which was not accompanied by a crossing keepers cottage.

The ground frame on the platform had thirteen levers and was covered by a wooden shelter.
