Saxilby railway station serves Saxilby in Lincolnshire, England. The station is 10 km (6 miles) west of Lincoln Central on the Sheffield-Lincoln line and the Doncaster-Lincoln Line.

The station consists of two platforms, connected by a foot crossing over the line. 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 un-manned 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 not available at the station, only printed timetables, so in the event that trains are delayed or cancelled, passengers are frequently left uninformed.

ervices

Mondays to Saturdays there is generally an hourly service eastbound to Lincoln Central and westbound to Sheffield, from where the trains continue to Doncaster, Adwick and Scunthorpe with occasional services direct to Doncaster via Gainsborough Lea Road. On Sundays there are four trains a day towards Lincoln and Sheffield.

Northern Rail provide a majority of the services to the station, with only the infrequent Doncaster service provided by East Midlands Trains, who manage the station.
