Scunthorpe railway station
Scunthorpe railway station

Scunthorpe railway station serves the town of Scunthorpe in North Lincolnshire, England. The station is located a short walk from the town centre, on Station Road. As one approaches the station by road, there is a pay and display car park with around 50 spaces, including 2 disabled spaces. From the car park, it is a short walk to the Ticket Office. Close to the entrance, there is a public telephone box.The station has two platforms. Platform 1 serves mainly eastbound trains toward Grimsby/Cleethorpes, although some Northern Trains "local stopper" services toward Doncaster do use this platform through the day. All westbound TransPennine Express (TPE) services, and most Northern services use Platform 2. This platform is accessible via a footbridge over the tracks and is not accessible for wheelchairs or mobility-impaired passengers. Lifts however, became available at this station in spring 2019.The station has limited seating on both platforms and three waiting rooms. There are toilets available on Platform 1, although their use was at one time accessible only by requesting a key from the ticket office; they are now open at all times. When access was restricted, the toilets were kept very clean, earning them the title of "Loo of the Year" in 2005, under the "Railway Stations" category.This is not the original Scunthorpe station. The original station was known as Frodingham and located over half a mile to the east near the Brigg Road bridge (then a level crossing). It opened in 1864, it was replaced by a second station just 200 yd west from the first in 1887. This one was closed when the present station was opened on 11 March 1928. For over 40 years, the original station was known as "Scunthorpe & Frodingham". From 1906, the town had another station serving the North Lindsey Light Railway, a line which ran from Dawes Lane, about half a mile to the east, to (originally) West Halton.
