Lenton railway station was situated on the Midland Railway line on Derby Road in Lenton, Nottingham, England.
Lenton railway station opened on 2 October 1848 with the partial opening of the Midland Railway's line from Nottingham to Mansfield as far as Kirkby. [1] Three passenger trains a day in each direction were provided from Monday to Saturday with two on Sundays. The fare from Nottingham to Lenton was 6d. in first class, 4d in second class, 3d in third class and 1.75d in 4th class.
The station was built on Derby Road in Lenton. Originally the road crossed the railway on a level crossing, but by 1886 Nottingham Council were pushing forwards with improvements in the form of a minor diversion of the road over a bridge over the railway. [2] This scheme cost £2,000 (equivalent to £237,000in 2021). [3]
Being close to the city the station suffered a reduction in passenger numbers when the extension to Nottingham Corporation Tramways service to and from Lenton started on 30 September 1902. The tramway ran along Derby Road, right outside the station.
The Midland Railway closed the station to passengers on 30 June 1911. [4]
The bridge on Derby Road over the railway was widened from 40 feet (12 m) to 60 feet (18 m) by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway company in 1931.
The stationmaster position was in existence until 1908 when it was dispensed with.
