I vaguely remember the old station building. I have visited the current sea container, but I have struggled to find a picture of the old building anywhere on the net. Has anyone got a pic they could share?

Wasn't this the station used for the Royal train for Princess Diana's funeral ?
12 or so years ago i did a cab patrol in a silverlink dusty bin and the driver called it "Long Buckly",he did this quite a few times but i could'nt bring myself to correct him.
It was. I believe she was buried at Althorpe, which is quite close. I think there is also some rail trackwork near her burial site.

My surname happens to be Buckley.
In the 70s I was gifted a narrow piece of black plastic with the name Long Buckley emblazoned in white on one side.
A friend had picked it up from the Railway Collector's Shop round the corner from Euston.
It was made for the 1960s Solari flap departure board at Euston and obviously rejected as a typo.
So someone out there thought it really was Long Buckl(e)y!
Trouble is, I've lost this family memento it after several house moves...
Not everyone can say they have been on the Euston departure board (though I have no proof it was ever actually displayed).
