In June 1980 the Nottingham Antique Centre occupied the High Level station building.
Photo by Nick Catford By 1987 the High Level station had been refurbished with a new tenant, the Grand Central Diner, now occupying the station building. There is a new entrance at the west end of the building and a small extension at the east end. A Peckett 0-4-0ST tank engine reminds diners of the building's history.

By June 1991 The Peckett had been given a 'Thomas' face. The banner on the viaduct promotes the diner; 'Family out special - Thomas the Tank - see here, Three course meal £4.95 - children £1.95'. Soon the diner, but not the Peckett, would be gone when Sam Fay's Bar took over the building. The Peckett is now privately owned by two people who hire it out as 'Ivor the Engine' for themed events.
