Counter Drain railway station was a remote station in Lincolnshire serving the village of Tongue End.[1] It was on the route of the Spalding and Bourn Railway (opened 1866),[2] later part of the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway which ran across East Anglia to the Norfolk Coast. The station opened with the line on 1 August 1866, closed temporarily between 9 October 1880 and 1 February 1881, and closed permanently on 2 March 1959,[3] although the line remained open for goods until 1964.[4][5] The three intermediate stations between Spalding and Bourne had unusual names, because there were few nearby settlements; "Counter Drain" was the name of a drainage ditch close to the station.[6]
