History

The site today

The Robin Hood Line was revived in the 1990s following the closure of the Mansfield Railway through the town and the freight-only route was then reused. However, the section from Kirkby to Langley Mill was not reopened to passengers and is in use for freight only. Nothing remains of Pinxton and Selston station.

As part of the Restoring Your Railway fund there are plans to reopen the station and the line to passengers. The line through the station would reopen first with a later stage to reopen the station. [11]
