Netherfield railway station (originally opened asColwick and later known asNetherfield and Colwick) serves the town ofNetherfield in theBorough of Gedling inNottinghamshire,England. It comprises a singleisland platform with two tracks, with only a single waiting shelter. Access is via a flight of steps down from Chaworth Road, which crosses the line at a bridge at this point.
The station is little-used in comparison with nearbyCarlton railway station on theNottingham to Lincoln Line, which lies barely 460 yards (420 m) away.
The station is located on the line first opened by theAmbergate, Nottingham, Boston and Eastern Junction Railway in 1850 and taken over by theGreat Northern Railway.[2]
From 7 January 1963 passenger steam trains between Grantham, Bottesford, Elton and Orston, Aslockton, Bingham, Radcliffe-on-Trent, Netherfield and Colwick, Nottingham London Road (High Level) and Nottingham (Victoria) were replaced with diesel-multiple unit trains.[3]
The station was renamed fromNetherfield & Colwick toNetherfield on 6 May 1974.[4]
Netherfield station also marks the junction for the disused line to Gedling, which separates to the north 50 yards (46 m) east of Netherfield. The branch then goes under theA612 road, bridges the Nottingham to Lincoln line, crosses over the A612 and terminates at Gedling coal mine.
Train services are limited here, with just nine "peak time" trains calling at the station on a typical weekday. Four of those trains operate towards Nottingham (three in the morning and one in the evening), and the remaining five (one morning and four afternoon/evening) operate toSkegness. Two trains each way call here on Sundays. All trains are operated byEast Midlands Railway.[5]
The station used to have aPlusBus scheme where combined train and bus tickets could be bought at a reduced price, however, it was withdrawn due to low usage owing to the limited rail services.[citation needed] The locality of Netherfield is still part of the Nottingham Plusbus scheme.
