Opened in 1848 on the two furthest lines by the Midland Railway, on what is now the line from Nottingham to Worksop, this station closed in 1967. No trace apparently remains. It acquired the suffix 'Vernon' in 1952. View north west towards Old Basford and Worksop. The railway line reopened as the Robin Hood Line in 1993 but Basford was not one of the reopened stations. However, the tram lines and tram stop in the foreground were opened in 2004, on the site of the former goods shed.
