Saxilby railway station


Saxilby railway station serves Saxilby in Lincolnshire, England. The station is west of Lincoln Central on the Sheffield-Lincoln line and the Doncaster-Lincoln Line. It was built by The Great Northern Railway and opened in 1849.
The station consists of two platforms, connected by a ramped footbridge crossing over the line, which was opened in the summer of 2014. The station house has now been converted for private use, with one section becoming a private dwelling and the other an office. The station is now unstaffed and all tickets must be purchased from the conductor on the train.
Minimal facilities are provided for passengers, with only a single waiting shelter on platform two. Live train information is available from a customer help point situated on platform 1.
Prior to the construction of the footbridge, the platforms were connected by a foot crossing directly over the line.
