The line through the station could be reopened by the Lincolnshire Wolds Railway as part of its extension south from Ludborough to Louth.

[8] The station was reopened on 11 December 1905 as Fotherby Halt[2] to coincide with the introduction of a motor train service by the Great Northern Railway.

[12] The halt was demolished by British Rail long before final closure of the line in December 1980 and little remains of it today.

[13][14] The crossing keeper's cottage survives in good condition as a private residence, but the original windows have given way to upvc replacements.

[7] The rails remain embedded in the tarmac over Peppin Lane and an old signal stands over the trackbed to the south towards Louth.
