Lakenheath railway station serves the village of Lakenheath in Suffolk, England.
The station lies some three miles north of the village of Lakenheath, and is not within convenient walking distance of any sizable population. However, there is a population of over 10,000 people (Lakenheath village, Feltwell and Hockwold cum Wilton) within a 5 mile radius of the station. This did not stop the closure and selling off of the station car park.
Services at Lakenheath comprise one train in each direction on Saturdays and three trains in each direction on Sundays. There are no services on Mondays to Fridays. All services stop only on request and are provided by National Express East Anglia railways, using Class 170 DMUs. On Saturdays, there is the 10:25 to Cambridge and the 15:40 to Norwich. On Sundays, there are the 10:00, 12:00, and 16:00 services to Cambridge and the 11:15, 13:14, and the 16:06 services to Norwich. East Midlands Trains services pass through the station but do not stop.
Lakenheath is one of the least-used stations in the United Kingdom, according to the Strategic Rail Authority figures of 2003.
RSPB Lakenheath Fen is immediately adjacent to the station.
