Bottesford railway station serves the village of Bottesford in Leicestershire, England. The station is on the Nottingham to Grantham line 15 miles (24 km) east of Nottingham railway station.
The station is located on the line first opened by the Ambergate, Nottingham, Boston and Eastern Junction Railway on 15 July 1850 and taken over by the Great Northern Railway.
The station buildings were designed by Thomas Chambers Hine.
There was also a link to the old GNR Newark to Leicester cross-country route a short distance to the east; this remained in use for freight until 1988 but has since been lifted.
The station is now owned by Network Rail and managed by East Midlands Trains (EMT) train operating company (TOC) who provide all rail services.
The station is unstaffed and offers limited facilities other than two shelters, bicycle storage, timetables and modern Help Points. The full range of tickets for travel are purchased from the guard on the train at no extra cost, as there are no retail facilities at this station.
There is generally a service every two hours daily westbound to Nottingham and eastbound to Skegness via Grantham. Several Grantham trains have connections to London, King's Cross or to York.
