Ruddington railway station
Coordinates: 52°53′43.00″N 1°9′31.00″W / 52.89528°N 1.15861°W Ruddington is a disused railway station on the Great Central Main Line south of Nottingham. The line had branches that ran to the now decommissioned Ruddington Depot.
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 island platform still survives. Just south of the station is where the northern end of the northern preserved section of the GCRH 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 a proposed Nottingham Greenwood railway station via Clifton Boulevard and Wilford through this site.[citation needed]
