Farnsfield railway station

Farnsfield railway station was a railway station serving the village of Farnsfield, Nottinghamshire, England. It was on the Midland Railway's Rolleston Junction to Mansfield line.

History
The station opened in 1871 when the Midland Railway extended the existing Rollesdon Junction to Southwell line from Southwell to Mansfield.

The station closed to passengers on 12 August 1929 when the Mansfield to Southwell section, which passed through a mining area, closed to passengers. The railway replaced it with a road motor omnibus service provided in conjunction with Mansfield and District Tramways Limited connecting with the railway stations between Mansfield and Newark. Freight services continued until 25 June 1964.

Present day
The station and goods shed remain as private residences. A branch of the Southwell Trail multi-user path passes through the station site, linking the A614 road to the main route of the trail just east of the station.
