I take it you can still get up the bank at the far side of Toton then? My dad used to take me there as a kid, I would love to go there again.

Do you still walk down the road past the scrapyard(?) and through the gates at the end, along the side of the line and up onto the grass bank?

Bearing in mind the last time I visited there were old hopper wagon, class 20's, 37's 56's and 58's there!
