UK Railways Portal

Carlton railway station serves the suburb of Carlton in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England. The station is 5 km (3 miles) east of Nottingham on the Nottingham to Lincoln Line operated by East Midlands Trains.

The station has two staggered platforms, there is a level crossing on Victoria Road, hence the staggered platforms to minimise delay to road traffic, and Carlton's centre is a considerable distance further away than Netherfield, where it is actually situated. However, as the nearby station 'Netherfield' is on the neighboring Nottingham-Skegness line, the name is already taken.

The station has a PlusBus scheme where train and bus tickets can be braught together for a cheaper price. It is in the same area as Beeston, Bulwell, Netherfield and Nottingham stations.

[edit] Service

There is generally an hourly service from Carlton. Westbound to Leicester via Nottingham and Eastbound to Lincoln Central with a limited service on Sundays.
