James Gray: The Sentinel Railbus, supplied by the Sentinel Wagon Works of Shrewsbury, seen in 1933 at Aldrington Halt (formerly Dyke Junction Halt). It continued in service on the Dyke railway until 1st May 1935. jgc_37_140
2019: A concrete platform has replaced the wooden one. The ticket office has been demolished and the station has a utilitarian feel with security fencing. Behind the station, the chimney of the incinerator has gone and now the council tries to recycle as much waste as possible. Aldrington Halt no longer boasts it fine large sign but passenger access to Aldrington Station is still via Mortimer Road from the south and Amherst Crescent to the north.
