Killingholme Admiralty Platform railway station
Killingholme Admiralty Platform railway station, known locally as Admiralty Platform, was near North Killingholme Haven, Lincolnshire, England.
The station was opened by the Great Central Railway in 1913 a later addition to the branch line from Goxhill to Immingham Dock, near both the former seaplane base at RNAS Killingholme and the Admiralty oil terminal at North Killingholme Haven.
Like its neighbour Killingholme, Admiralty Platform had a single, straight, wooden platform with minimal facilities. These were still intact when a RCTS Special called four years after closure on 7 October 1967.
The station was unusual in several respects:
although opened primarily to serve a naval base it was a public station, at least outside wartime
it evaded maps, including OS maps
it evaded timetables
it evaded Signalling Record Society records
and
no tickets were thought to survive which show the station as a starting point, but an example has now been found, (see picture).
The station closed on 17 June 1963 along with the other stations on the line.
When the line and station opened the area was rural and thinly populated. By 2015 the area round the former station had become industrial but remained thinly populated. The track through the station site was still in use for freight.

North Killingholme Haven
North Killingholme Haven is a water outlet on the south bank of the Humber Estuary in the civil parish of North Killingholme, to the north-west of the Port of Immingham.
The area was used at the beginning of the 20th century for clay extraction with a jetty transhipping clay to Hull; in 1912 construction of a jetty for the Admiralty was consented, for fuel oil shipment. During the First World War a large seaplane facility was operated, known as RNAS Killingholme.
In the 1990s a Simon Group established a Roll on-Roll off river terminal at the Haven, known as Humber Sea Terminal; the terminal was expanded to six berths through the 1990s and 2000s.
