Trains to Spalding - Station Details and further Information on Spalding Train Services
Spalding train station serves the town of Spalding in Lincolnshire, England. Spalding is on the branch line to Lincoln operated by an hourly service in both directions usually by Class 153 single car units.

The final Peterborough-bound service of the evening continues onto Nottingham calling at Stamford, Oakham and Melton Mowbray en route. There is no weekday evening service northbound to Sleaford and Lincoln and no service on Sundays.
Spalding nowadays has only two platforms. Platform 1 being for Lincoln-bound services and Platform 2 for Peterborough. The station used to have seven platforms, five through tracks and two terminal bays with services to March and Sleaford on the Great Eastern and Great Northern Joint, Bourne and King's Lynn on the Midland & Great Northern Joint and finally the Great Northern line going to Boston. There was also, past the Northern Junction a freight line going off to the former British Sugar plant. The bridge connecting Platforms 1 and 2 to the rest of the station still exists; however the entrance to the old platforms have been fenced off and the walk through on the bridge bricked up. The tracks meanwhile have been lifted and the site is now used for housing. Very little remains on the old station, however the façade remains as it was when first built.
Only 22 minutes from Peterborough, Spalding train station is a few minutes away from the bus station connecting Spalding to Boston, King's Lynn and Peterborough. |
