The original Thorne South station was opened in 1866 by the Manchester Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway on what is now the line from Doncaster to Cleethorpes, and replaced earlier stations in Thorne that had been built next to the Stainforth & Keadby canal. This 1866 station was immediately behind the camera position. In turn, it was replaced by the current station in the late 1970s by British Rail (needs confirmation of date). View east towards Medge Hall and Cleethorpes some five years before a footbridge replaced the foot crossing - see Image for a 2019 view of the station.
