Rolleston station is around half a mile from the small village of Rolleston, one of the Trent side villages close to Southwell in Nottinghamshire. As well as the village of Rolleston, the station is convenient for Southwell Racecourse, to which it is directly adjacent.
Rolleston is on the Nottingham to Lincoln Line, its neighbouring stations being Newark castle, around 4 miles east, and Fiskerton, around 3/4 mile west. Rolleston is served hourly by East Midlands Trains, and is usually a request stop.
The station was previously known as Rolleston Junction, as it used to be the junction for the railway line to Southwell and Mansfield, which in its latter years played host to the locally-loved 'Southwell Paddy' service. This line closed under the Beeching cuts in the 1960s. The name also avoided confusion with Rolleston-on-Dove railway station on the line between Burton upon Trent and Egginton Junction.
