Carlton Station: eastbound platform
This is the former Midland Railway line to Newark and Lincoln. The platforms at Carlton (formerly Carlton & Netherfield) are staggered rather than opposite each other - the westbound platform is behind the camera, on the other side of the level crossing. The waiting shelter stands on the site of the pretty cottage-style station building, demolished in the 1960s.

Due to space considerations, the station has always been laid out with staggered platforms.

Carlton Station looking east
Recreating this earlier view from 2007 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/312700 . Since then the crossing barriers have been renewed and set back a little further from the tracks. Otherwise the change is minimal.

Snowy ramp
Access ramp to the eastbound platform at Carlton Station. This is unmanned so no clearance work has been done since the recent snowfall.

Netherfield 'village' sign
These cast signs were originally created for rural villages, but have spread to include urban 'villages' as well. This shows (top) the former Netherfield Junction Signal Box https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/312689 , Jackie Bell's Field playground (left) and the St George's Centre (bottom). I have not identified the fourth element.

Carlton level crossing
The platforms of Carlton station, on the Nottingham-Lincoln line, are staggered, the eastbound platform to the left of the crossing, the westbound to the right. The station was formerly Carlton & Netherfield, to distinguish it from Netherfield & Colwick on the Grantham line. Carlton is behind the camera, Netherfield (a one-time railway town) straight ahead.

A borderline case
The staggered platforms of Carlton Station lie each in one grid square. The boundary between SK6141 and 6241 lies just the far side of the level crossing. Carlton Station (formerly Carlton and Netherfield) is actually in Netherfield, but is called Carlton to distinguish it from Netherfield Station (formerly Netherfield and Colwick)
