Kirkby in Ashfield railway station, Nottinghamshire

Image: © Nigel Thompson Taken: 13 May 2010

Opened in 1996 by British Rail on the Nottingham to Worksop "Robin Hood" line. View north towards Sutton Parkway and Worksop. Whilst the northern and southern ends of the Robin Hood line used the previous Midland Railway line, the middle part around Kirkby and Sutton used the old Great Northern Railway Leen Valley extension, for various reasons. This resulted in the current station being built where there hadn't previously been one. This image was taken before the later dark blue colour scheme was applied.
