Burton Joyce railway station serves the large village of Burton Joyce in Nottinghamshire, England. It lies between Carlton and Lowdham stations on the Nottingham to Lincoln Line.
History
The builders of the railway faced a good deal of opposition at Burton Joyce, which resulted in the station being outside of the village. The preferred site of the railway company was near to the Lord Nelson inn, but the innkeeper objected on the grounds that he would have to brew more beer. The vicar of St Helen's Church, Revd. John Rolleston, near whose vicarage the line was to run, objected to the railway on account of the noise. Finally, the promoters of the railway bought him out and built a new vicarage for him.[1]
The line was engineered by George Stephenson and was opened by the Midland Railway on 3 August 1846.[2] The contractors for the line were Craven and Son of Newark and Nottingham.[2]
The westbound platform was shortened significantly when locomotive-hauled trains were replaced in the 1960s.
