Goxhill railway station serves the village of Goxhill in North Lincolnshire, England. It was built by the Great Grimsby and Sheffield Junction Railway in 1848. The station is on the Barton Line 17 miles (27 km) north west of Cleethorpes and all trains serving it are operated by Northern.
Contents
It is the last station, when travelling from Cleethorpes towards Barton, to still have two platforms and the original station buildings. The buildings are no longer in railway use (the station has been unstaffed since 1969) and are in private ownership. The station signal box controls a nearby level crossing that still (as of summer 2016) has manually-wound wooden gates rather than modern lifting barriers. Since the main line was re-signalled in January 2016, the box has become the 'fringe' on this route to the Rail operating centre at York.
Between 1911 & 1963, it was also the junction for the Barton & Immingham Light Railway line to Immingham Dock via Killingholme. This route was single line throughout and left the present route just south of the station.
Facilities
The station is unmanned and has only basic amenities - a single shelter on the southbound platform, a payphone and timetable poster boards on each side. Tickets must be purchased prior to travel or on the train. Step-free access is available to each side via the level crossing.
Services
The station has a two-hourly service in each direction on weekdays & Saturdays, with a bus connection to/from Hull Paragon via the Humber Bridge available at Barton. All services are operated by a Class 153 including the Sunday service in the summer (May to September), which is limited to four trips each way. No Sunday service operates for the remainder of the year.
