Netherfield railway station serves the area of Netherfield in the borough of Gedling in Nottinghamshire, England. It comprises a single island platform with two tracks, with only a single waiting shelter. Access is via a flight of steps down from Chaworth Road, which bridges the line at this point.

The station is little-used in comparison with nearby Carlton railway station on the Nottingham to Lincoln Line, which lies barely 460 yards (420 m) away.

History

The station is located on the line first opened by the Ambergate, Nottingham, Boston and Eastern Junction Railway in 1850 and taken over by the Great Northern Railway[2]

The station was renamed from Netherfield & Colwick to Netherfield on 6 May 1974.[3]

Netherfield station also marks the junction for the disused line to Gedling, which separates to the north 50 yards (46 m) east of Netherfield. The branch then goes under the A612 road, bridges the Nottingham to Lincoln line, crosses over the A612 and terminates at Gedling coal mine.

Current Services

There are a few trains per day in each direction, all of them operated by East Midlands Trains. Most of these services are on the Nottingham to Skegness route, however, a few trains at weekends stop on the Liverpool to Norwich axis.

The station has a PlusBus scheme where combined train and bus tickets can be bought at a reduced price. For this purpose, Netherfield is in the same area as Beeston, Bulwell, Nottingham and Carlton stations.
