The platform of Ruddington railway station is still extant, though it is now quite difficult to see through the vegetation that has grown since the railway line was closed. It was on the Great Central Railway's London Extension (from Annesley in Nottinghamshire to Quainton Road in Buckinghamshire), and followed the standard pattern for stations on that line: an island platform accessed by stairs from a road bridge. The area immediately to the east of the station (presumably the site of the goods yard) has now been developed for housing (left).
