History
The line of the Bourne and Essendine Railway (B&ER) opened on 16 June 1860, with intermediate stations at Thurlby and Braceborough Spa. The B&ER was operated by the Great Northern Railway (GNR), which absorbed it on 25 July 1864.

In September 1925, the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER), which had been created on 1 January 1923 by the amalgamation of the GNR with several other railways, opened a station between Thurlby and Braceborough Spa, naming it Wilsthorpe Crossing Halt; it was adjacent to a level crossing on the road connecting Wilsthorpe with Manthorpe.
