Fiskerton railway station, on Network Rail's Nottingham to Lincoln Line, is situated 2.5 m / 3.5 km southeast of the town of Southwell and serves the village of Fiskerton in Nottinghamshire, England.

History

The station was opened on 4 August 1846[1] by the Midland Railway. It was taken over by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923, and by British Rail in 1948.

It is managed by the East Midlands Trains (EMT) train operating company, which provides services to the station.

In 2017, Network Rail announced that the platforms would be extended to handle longer trains.[2]

Facilities

The station is unstaffed and offers limited facilities other than two shelters, bicycle storage, timetables, and modern 'Help Points'. The full range of tickets for travel can be purchased from the guard on the train at no extra cost. There are no retail facilities at this station.

Services

EMT's Newark Castle to Nottingham and Matlock services call hourly through the day and early evening in both directions. Only a limited number of through services to/from Lincoln Central call in the May 2016 timetable, though connections are available at Newark. There is a limited service on Sundays, with no departures before mid-afternoon.[3]
