Killingholme Admiralty Platform railway station was near North Killingholme Haven, Lincolnshire, England. The station was opened by the London and North Eastern Railway at some time between 1923 and 1930 as a later addition to the branch line from Goxhill to Immingham Dock, near both the former seaplane base at RNAS Killingholme and the Admiralty oil terminal at North Killingholme Haven. Like its neighbour Killingholme, Admiralty Platform had a single, straight, wooden platform with minimal facilities. These were still intact when a RCTS Special called four years after closure on 7 October 1967. The station was unusual in several respects: * although opened primarily to serve naval bases it was a public station, at least outside wartime * it evaded maps, including OS maps〔(Station not shown on 1947 OS map )〕 * it evaded timetables and * no tickets are known to survive which show the station as a starting point. The station closed on 17 June 1963 along with the other stations on the line. When the line and station opened the area was rural and thinly populated. By 2015 the area round the former station had become industrial but remained thinly populated. The track through the station site was still in use for freight. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Killingholme Admiralty Platform railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
