Ruddington railway station

Ruddington railway station

Ruddington is a disused railway station on the Great Central Main Line south of Nottingham.

It was originally a standard GCR country island type station, like those surviving at Quorn and Woodhouse and Rothley, accessed from a road overbridge. The station buildings have been demolished though the platforms still survive. Just south of the station is where the northern end of the northern preserved section of the GCR starts.

There are plans by the Nottingham Transport Heritage Centre to purchase the station in the short-term future, with possible future restoration and extension of the current preserved Great Central line to Clifton Boulevard through this site.Driving Wheels, summer 2008] .
