Newstead railway station serves the village of Newstead in Nottinghamshire, England.

Newstead was the original terminus of the Robin Hood Line when it was re-opened in 1993. The line has since been extended to Mansfield and Worksop. A former stop Annesley railway station just to the north did not re-open, as Newstead station was thought capable of handling the extra passengers.

Newstead Abbey, the ancestral home of Lord Byron is about two to three miles away and is served by this station.

Services

Monday to Saturday there is generally an hourly service in both directions and a limited Sunday service. From 12 July the first service in the morning and the last service back on a Sunday will be extended to Skegness, providing the opportunity for a day out in Skegness by rail.
