Aslockton railway station serves the villages of Aslockton and Whatton in Nottinghamshire, England. The station is 10¾ miles (17 km) east of Nottingham on the Nottingham-Skegness Line.
It is located on the line first opened by the Ambergate, Nottingham, Boston and Eastern Junction Railway in 1850 and taken over by the Great Northern Railway.
The station itself was opened by the Great Northern Railway in 1857. The station buildings were designed by Thomas Chambers Hine.
It became part of the London and North Eastern Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The station then passed on to the Eastern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. When Sectorisation was introduced in the 1980s, the station was served by Regional Railways until the Privatisation of British Railways.
The station is now managed by East Midlands Trains.
There are trains every hour or two to Nottingham, and trains every hour or two to Boston and Skegness via Grantham. There are less frequent trains to destinations such as Norwich and Liverpool Lime Street.
