Ulceby railway station

Ulceby railway station serves the village of Ulceby in North East Lincolnshire, England. It was built by the Great Grimsby and Sheffield Junction Railway in 1848 and is located at Ulceby Skitter. It is managed by East Midlands Railway and served by its trains on the Barton line between Cleethorpes and Barton-on-Humber. The station layout is somewhat unusual in that all passenger trains use a single platform, even though the station is located on a double track line. There are junctions at either end of the station, as the branch line from Habrough to Barton-on-Humber meets and then diverges from the busy freight-only line from Brocklesby to Immingham Dock. These junctions, and the adjacent level crossing were controlled from Ulceby Junction signal box at the southern end of the station, however this was demolished in January 2016 when the crossing and signals were automated. The station originally had two platforms, but this was reduced to a single wooden platform when the line was resignalled in the 1980s.

Ulceby Aerodrome Platform railway station

Ulceby Aerodrome Platform railway station was situated 74 chains (1.5 km) northeast of Ulceby North Junction between Ulceby and the village of South Killingholme, Lincolnshire, England. It was opened by LNER to serve the Second World War airfield RAF North Killingholme, whose southern perimeter lay a short distance to the north. A workman's ticket to the station, issued at Cleethorpes on 26 June 1943, indicates its latest possible opening date. Construction of the airfield started on 23 September 1942; it went on to close operationally on 31 October 1945, being used for some time thereafter for ordnance storage. The use of the word "Platform" in an LNER station name usually indicated an unstaffed halt. The line through the station was, and in 2015 remained, the main goods line to and from Immingham Dock. Up to the outbreak of the Second World War the only passenger traffic along the line was occasional ocean liner specials to Immingham Eastern Jetty. Unadvertised workmen's services using the line, plying between Cleethorpes and Immingham Dock via Habrough, are known to have run from at least 1954 to 1963, becoming an advertised service until cessation in 1969. It is not known whether this service started well before 1954 or a special service for Ulceby Aerodrome workers and military personnel was provided for the period the station was open. By 2015 no trace of the station remained.

Brocklesby railway station

Brocklesby railway station was a station near Brocklesby, Lincolnshire. It was formally closed by British Rail on 3 October 1993. The station was located to suit the Earl of Yarborough, in his capacity as chairman of the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway who built the line. It included a private waiting room for the earl. The building was designed by architects Weightman and Hadfield in the Tudor Gothic style used throughout the line. The building is listed as grade II, in which the style is referred to as Jacobean. The unusual platform-based signal box is also a grade II listed building and became redundant due to resignalling works in December 2015. On 27 March 1907, two freight trains collided at Brocklesby.
