Trains to Retford - Station Details and further Information on Retford Train Services

Retford train station serves the town of Retford in Nottinghamshire, England. and is 138 miles north of London Kings Cross and 16 miles south of Doncaster on the East Coast Main Line. It is also 23 miles south east of Sheffield on the Sheffield to Lincoln Line.

Retford train station has four platforms, two of which serve the East Coast Main Line while two located at a lower level and at right angles to the first pair serve the Sheffield to Lincoln Line.

The higher-level platforms (numbered 1 and 2) respectively serve southbound and northbound East Coast Main Line trains calling at Retford. Platform 1 (on the eastern side of the layout) adjoins the main station building. Between the two platforms tracks there are two further lines, used by fast trains not booked to call here.

The lower-level platforms (numbered 3 and 4) were added in the 1960s when the flat crossing between the two lines was removed (in 1965) and the Sheffield - Lincoln tracks were lowered to pass beneath the London - Edinburgh route. These works also necessitated the removal of the direct north-to-east curve, meaning that trains between Sheffield and Lincoln could no longer call at the original platforms without a reversal.

The former Buffet and First Class Dining room on platform 1 are currently used as clubrooms by The Bassetlaw (North Notts) Railway Society. The club has installed an interesting display of local railway images in the windows of the rooms.
