This article concerns the closed and demolished former Mansfield Railway station. Articles about Kirkby's other historical stations have yet to be written. Kirkby's modern-day Robin Hood Line station can be found at Kirkby-in-Ashfield railway station.

History

The station was opened in 1917 by the Mansfield Railway along with Mansfield Central and Sutton-in-Ashfield Central. The line, including its stations, was worked by the Great Central Railway and became part of the LNER in 1923 and subsequently British Railways in 1948.

The station was conventional and spacious.

Most passenger services plied between Nottingham Victoria and Mansfield Central, with some extending to Edwinstowe and Ollerton.

Goods and timetabled passenger services ceased on 3 January 1956, though Summer weekend excursion traffic to Scarborough, Cleethorpes, Skegness and Mablethorpe continued until 1962.

The line through the station was closed on 7 January 1968 and subsequently lifted.
