Site of Gresley station, 1995. View westward, towards Burton-on-Trent: ex-Midland Leicester - Burton line. The station, - mainly located off to the right, was closed 7/9/64 when the Leicester - Burton passenger service ceased. However, the line has remained open for freight and may yet have a passenger service on the 'Ivanhoe Line'.

Room was fine, housekeeping didn’t always refresh the teabags which was frustrating and the room service food was overdone and lukewarm by the time it was delivered, which was disappointing. Staff were mainly friendly and helpful although bar staff were abrupt and on one occasion rude.
