Nottingham London Road railway station

Nottingham London Road railway station was opened by the Great Northern Railway on London Road Nottingham in 1857.〔British Railways Pre-Grouping Atlas and Gazatteer.〕
==History==

The station was opened in 1857 by the Great Northern Railway at the terminus of its line from Grantham, originally built by the Ambergate, Nottingham, Boston and Eastern Junction Railway.〔Kingscott, G., (2004) ''Lost Railways of Nottinghamshire,'' Newbury: Countryside Books〕 The station was designed by the local architect Thomas Chambers Hine. GNR trains originally used the Midland station in Nottingham, but there were frequent disputes, especially when the GNR began running through trains from London via Grantham in a shorter time than the MR could manage. To solve the problem, the GNR opened their own station served by a new line from near Netherfield, adjacent to the Midland line whose tracks they had previously used.
When Nottingham Victoria railway station was opened in 1900, the Great Northern had to construct a new chord line, carried mainly on brick arches and steel girders, by means of a junction at Trent Lane, east of London Road, to Weekday Cross where it joined the Great Central main line. The new chord line included a station on an island platform reached, by means of a staircase from the booking office on the same approach road to the earlier London Road terminus. To avoid confusion the new station was designated 'High Level' and the old station renamed 'Low Level'. The transfer to Victoria Station gave the Great Northern a prestigious location and avoided their need to reverse trains to and from Grantham, Derbyshire, and north of Nottingham. Passenger services at the low level station were substantially reduced with the opening of the Victoria station and the last passenger service ran on 22 May 1944. The station however remained open as a mail depot for troops during the Second World War before becoming a parcels depot until the 1970s.〔(LNWR GNR Joint Railway, "London Road". )〕 Passengers services to the High Level station were withdrawn on 3 July 1967, concurrently with the closure of Nottingham Victoria station, and the services diverted to Nottingham Midland.
