Carlton railway station serves the town of Carlton, Nottinghamshire, England. The station is 3miles east of Nottingham on the Nottingham to Lincoln Line operated by East Midlands Railway.
It opened on 3 August 1846.[1] The station was renamed from Carlton & Netherfield to Carlton on 6 May 1974.[2]
The station has two staggered platforms, there is a level crossing on Victoria Road, hence the staggered platforms to minimise delay to road traffic, and Carlton's centre is a considerable distance further away than Netherfield's, but the nearby Netherfield railway station on the neighbouring Nottingham-Skegness line had already taken that name.
There is generally an hourly service from Carlton, with trains running westbound to via Nottingham and eastbound to with a few continuing to Lincoln at peak times and in the evening. There is a reduced service on Sundays.[6]
The station has a PlusBus scheme where train and bus tickets can be bought together for a cheaper price. It is in the same area as Beeston, Bulwell, Netherfield and Nottingham stations.
