Thurgarton railway station is a Grade II listed[1] station which serves the village of Thurgarton in Nottinghamshire, England.
History
It is on the Nottingham to Lincoln Line, which was engineered by George Stephenson and 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 station buildings are in the neo-tudor style[3] and were probably designed by Thomas Chambers Hine.
At the station much of the original décor remains apart from the electric barriers added later.
