Spalding Railway Station

Facts and Figures

Spalding railway station serves the town of Spalding in Lincolnshire, England.

The station is owned by Network Rail and managed by East Midlands Trains (EMT) train operating company who provide all rail services.

The station is staffed from 06:30-14:30 Monday to Saturday and offers limited facilities other than two shelters, bicycle storage, timetables, platform departure screens and modern 'Help Points'. There is also a ticket machine situated on platform 1. Other than a snack machine in the booking hall, there are no other retail facilities on the station; however local shops are within walking distance.

Spalding nowadays has only two platforms. Platform 1 (adjacent the station building) is mainly used for southbound services towards Peterborough and terminating trains from Peterborough, but is also used by some northbound through services towards Sleaford and Lincoln; Platform 2 can only be used by northbound services. The station used to have seven platforms - five through faces (up main & two islands) and two terminal bays, with services to March and Sleaford on the Great Northern and Great Eastern Joint Railway, Bourne and Kings Lynn on the Midland & Great Northern Joint Railway and finally the Great Northern "Lincolnshire Loop" line to Boston and then onwards to Louth and Grimsby. There was also, past the Northern Junction a freight line going off to the former British Sugar plant. Only the routes to Werrington Junction, Peterborough and Sleaford are still in use and the station has been remodelled & downsized considerably since the demise of the March line in 1982.

The bridge connecting Platforms 1 and 2 to the rest of the station still exists, but the old platform 5 has been fenced off, the bays filled in and the walk through on the bridge to platforms 6 & 7 bricked up. The tracks meanwhile have been lifted, the western island platforms cleared and the site now used for housing. Though very little remains of the old station, the façade remains as it was when first built.

Only 22 minutes from Peterborough, Spalding railway station is a few minutes away from the bus station connecting Spalding to Boston, King's Lynn and Peterborough.
