Nothing remains of Kirkby Bentinck station apart from two concrete poles that held the station sign and the station master’s house on Church Hill. The site is now grazed and used for agriculture.

gollark: Well, it's probably fine, as you can't just set the frequency of light arbitrarily precisely.

gollark: No, there are physics reasons too. Something something planck length/time/etc.
