Carlton railway station serves the town of Carlton, Nottinghamshire, England. The station is east of Nottingham on the Nottingham to Lincoln Line operated by East Midlands Railway.
History It opened on 3 August 1846. The station was renamed from Carlton & Netherfield to Carlton on 6 May 1974.
Description The station has two staggered platforms, there is a level crossing on Victoria Road, hence the staggered platforms to minimise delay to road traffic, and Carlton's centre is a considerable distance further away than Netherfield's, but the nearby Netherfield railway station on the neighbouring Nottingham-Skegness line had already taken that name.
