Bulwell station, previously known asBulwell Market station, is arailway station andtram stop serving the town ofBulwell, inNottinghamshire,England. It is located on theRobin Hood Line and theHucknall branch of theNottingham Express Transit (NET).

Bulwell station opened on 2 October 1848, with the opening of theMidland Railway's line fromNottingham toMansfield. It was the first of several stations to serve Bulwell, includingBulwell Common,Bulwell Forest andBasford and Bulwell. On 11 August 1952 it was renamed Bulwell Market, in order to distinguish it from the other Bulwell stations. It was closed to passenger traffic, along with all the other stations on the line, in 1964, but the railway line itself was retained for goods traffic. In 1993, this line was reopened byBritish Rail to passenger traffic as part of the newRobin Hood Line, and, on 24 May 1994, the station reopened under its original name, the other Bulwell stations having closed in the meantime.^[1][2]

In March 2004, theNottingham Express Transit tram line opened on an alignment alongside the railway line. The station used to have 2 rail platforms, but the down platform was removed to make way for theNottingham Express Transit tram stop.

The station used to have aPlusBus scheme where train and bus tickets could be bought together giving a saving on the cost of separate tickets. However this was withdrawn due to low usage.^[3] A Nottingham and Beeston Plusbus are still valid to Bulwell on buses and trams but cannot be bought for rail journeys starting/ending at Bulwell.^{[citation needed]}

The railway has a single line and platform through the station, with the platform on the opposite side of the railway track from the tram stop. A footbridge links the railway platform with the tram stop, town centre and bus station, crossing both railway and tram tracks. To the south of the station, the line becomes double-track for the rest of its run towards Nottingham. To the north, only a single track is used as far asKirkby-in-Ashfield station. Train services are operated byEast Midlands Railway.

During the weekday off-peak and on Saturdays, the station is generally served by an hourly service northbound toWorksop and southbound toNottingham.^[4] During the peak hours, the station is also served by an additional two trains per day between Nottingham andMansfield Woodhouse.

On Sundays, the station is served by a two-hourly service between Nottingham and Mansfield Woodhouse, with no service to Worksop. Sunday services to Worksop are due to recommence at the station during the life of the East Midlands franchise.^[5]
