Boughton railway station audio|Boughton.ogg|pronounced (listen) is a former railway station in Boughton, Nottinghamshire. It was opened by the Lancashire, Derbyshire and East Coast Railway in March 1897 and closed by British Rail in 1955.
The line was notable in that it crossed a series of ridges between river valleys and from Ollerton it climbed at around 1 in 150 to Boughton as it crossed a ridge before the valley of the River Trent.
The Wigan Coal and Iron Company intended to open a new colliery at Bevercotes and the LD&ECR obtained powers to build a branch from Boughton sidings. It did not materialise and for many years the branch terminated at a set of buffers in the countryside. The colliery was finally opened in 1965 and the stub of line finally came into use. Nearby a connection was made during World War II to serve Boughton Ordnance Depot. [Cupit,T., Taylor, W., (1984 2nd.Ed.) "The Lancashire, Derbyshire and East Coast Railway," Trowbridge: The Oakwood Press]
From Boughton, the line descended to Tuxford. [British Railways Atlas.1947. p.16]
It should not be confused with Boughton railway station on the Northampton & Lamport Railway.
