Ludborough railway station
Ludborough is a heritage railway station in Ludborough, Lincolnshire, England, which is the base of the Lincolnshire Wolds Railway. The station, which was previously part of the East Lincolnshire Railway, closed in 1961 to passengers and 1965 to freight, but was taken over by the preservation society in 1984. The first trains from the station to , to the north, ran in August 2009, the first for 47 years. There are proposals to extend the line further in both directions towards and Louth.
==History==
The station was opened on 28 March 1848 and was originally named Ludborough for Fulstow although the for fulstow was dropped. Although its name is taken from the Lincolnshire village of Ludborough, the station is in fact situated half way between that village and Fulstow. It was constructed by contractor John Waring and Sons of Rotherham who, in December 1846, had agreed to construct the line between and for the sum of £46,102 (£}} as of ). Ludborough, some from Louth, was provided with staggered platforms either side of a level crossing; the up platform to the south of the crossing and the up to the north. A third lower platform was later added in connection with the rail motor service introduced from 1905. Situated opposite the up platform, the rail motor platform is adjacent to a brick stationmaster's house which also comprised the booking office and passenger waiting room. The architectural style of the house and the station layout is similar to the stations at , and .
A signal box on the up platform which contained a 20 lever frame controlled the crossing gates as well as access to the small goods yard with two sidings on the opposite side. Ludborough had the most comprehensive goods facilities on the line between Louth and Grimsby, having cattle pens and a large brick goods shed; one siding ran into a loading dock behind the down platform. The design of the shed is based on the warehouse built by the Louth Navigation at Austen Fen. The station closed to passengers on 11 September 1961, the same day as and to the south and and to the North. This made the only intermediate station open between Louth and Grimsby . It closed completely on 25 May 1965 when goods facilities were withdrawn.After the closure of the line to passengers in 1970, the down line was removed between Louth and Hainton Street leaving only the up line through Ludborough to remain open until December 1980.
