As the weather was nice I decided to walk from Parkend to Whitecroft via the road for the steam train, also to walk to Norchard from Town after grabbing supplies for dinner from the Tesco.

First of all - a retraction. In a different thread I recently described three of today's destinations as "Breckland B*****s". Not only are none of the three in Breckland; they are also very nice once you get to know them. I apologise to any station (however overprovided with benches it is) for any offence caused!

I think we've been in the same areas the past few days, although I certainly didn't see Corby yesterday!

Rather than wait 40 minutes at Eridge after my visit to the Spa Valley Railway, I took the opportunity to visit the last station I hadn't previously visited between there are Oxted:
