Netherfield railway station (originally opened as Colwick and later known as Netherfield and Colwick) serves the town of Netherfield in the Borough of Gedling in Nottinghamshire,England. It comprises a single island 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 nearby Carlton railway station on the Nottingham to Lincoln Line,which lies barely 460 yards (420 m) away.
The station is located on the line first opened by the Ambergate,Nottingham,Boston and Eastern Junction Railway in 1850 and taken over by the Great 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 from Netherfield &Colwick to Netherfield 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 the A612 road,bridges the Nottingham to Lincoln line,crosses over the A612 and terminates at Gedling coal mine.
Train services are extremely limited,with just seven "peak time" trains calling at the station on a typical weekday. Three of those trains operate towards Nottingham (with one early service extended to Liverpool),and the remainder operate to Skegness. All trains are operated by East Midlands Railway.
The station used to have a PlusBus scheme where combined train and bus tickets could be bought at a reduced price,however it was withdrawn due to low usage owing to the limited rail services.[ citation needed ] The locality of Netherfield is still part of the Nottingham Plusbus scheme.
