Station code: | BUJ |
Opened: | 1846 |
Platforms: | 2 |
The station was opened by the Midland Railway in 1846. The station was built further away from the village centre than originally intended due to local objections. The station had a single siding and signalbox though both have now gone [1].
The platforms were shortened in the 1960s though the station remained open. The station's main building and wooden shelters have been replaced by the usual bus shelters. Access between the platforms is via the level crossing at the Lincoln end of the platforms. The station is managed by East Midlands Railway.
