On the subject of railway station buildings converted to houses, see Posts 127 to 136 of this thread. (Little Kimble)

Little Kimble station is just three miles from here.
For many years the station itself was closed although the station buildings became a private dwelling and trains continued to run between Princes Risborough and Aylesbury.
I can’t remember how long ago it was when the station came back into use but I wonder how it affected the occupants of the house.
Having said that, while there are comparatively few passenger services, the track is used extensively by trains taking London’s domestic waste to a landfill site at the old brickworks quarry at Calvert north of Aylesbury.
On a warm day those wagons do NOT smell of roses so a few passengers wandering past your window are probably a minor inconvenience.
