History
Opened by the Boston, Sleaford and Midland Counties Railway, then run by the Great Northern Railway, it became part of the London and North Eastern Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The station then passed on to the Eastern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.
When sectorisation was introduced in the 1980s, the station was served by Regional Railways until the privatisation of British Rail.
Services
East Midlands Railway operates four services per day in each direction between Skegness and Nottingham. A normal service operates on most bank holidays, but there is no Sunday service.[1]
