What was then called Gainsborough station was opened on 15th July 1867. Passenger facilities were improved in 1883 and 1884, and goods facilities expanded in 1886 and 1891 with a number of rail connected businesses operated in the station area. In July 1923, the station was renamed Gainsborough North although this name was short-lived as the station was renamed Gainsborough Lea Road in December 1923. A fuller account of the history of the station and its current use can be seen at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gainsborough_Lea_Road_railway_station The next stations in this direction are Doncaster or Retford Low Level.
