Although the transformation is yet to be completed, pictures of the finished work have gone viral and earned praise from netizens. Station Halt, as it called, is at Brampford Speke and was part of the Exe Valley Railway in Devon since May 1, 1885.

The staff at the station were sent home in 1923, following which the place became an unmanned halt for trains. Almost 40 years later, the station was finally closed due to Beeching cuts.
