Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Sawley Junction

Corner micro-pub, handily located just across the road from Long Eaton station and full of railway memorabilia. Square bar with a slightly inconvenient column, with seating at a premium later on a Friday afternoon. Eight cask ales served by gravity, five of which - including my Independence (£4.50) - came from Bristol Beer Factory, together with Bass, Our House from Castle Rock and the 'house' Up T' Junction (brewed by Bang the Elephant).

Opposite Long Eaton station,a really excellent micropub on a corner plot.The sqaure interior has a huge amount of railway ephemera ,a lot relating to the station's previous name of Sawley Junction,hence the pub name.The furniture is traditional and there is a good large fitted bench seating area.Outside there is an open area on the pavement which is a real sun trap and there is a hatch to serve these drinkers.The opening hours are extended to Wednesday in the better weather from June and there was a good crowd inside on my Wednesday visit.
The real ale line up from stillage was Brass Castle Bad Kitty porter,Black Lodge Baltic Best,house Bowser Bitter brewed at Birch Cottage,TT Landlord,Shiny Live the Dream,Alter Ego Blonde Protagonist,Magpie Not Bad for Magpie and Thornbridge Crackendale (great nick ,NBSS 4.5,£4.95 a bargain.)
On keg there were indie beers Triple Point Helles and Wingsuit,Vault City Brain Freeze Slushy Sour,Azvex The Orca Brothers and Pamona Island Factotum . Both the ale selection and the indie beers show that the owner here knows his beer and is prepared to offer a large mix of styles and strength.Bar snacks are toasties ,pork pies,scotch eggs and the like.
An absolute must visit and having crawled around Long Eaton this was by bar the best pub. Next time I'm in here for a long session,it really should be in the GBG with it's offer of 8 rotating ales

Real Ale Ray left this review about Sawley Junction

A well supported micropub with a mix of age groups and the main theme for this micro is the railways, obviously being so close to the railway station. Seven ales to choose from on our visit and four craft. The ales were on stillage served from the rear cold room. My Halland Oatmeal Stout was superb, £4 a pint for a 4.9%. There's a snack menu with Pork Pies, Scotch Eggs, Cheeseboard and Cheese toasty.
