Mansfield Woodhouse railway station serves the village of Mansfield Woodhouse, which adjoins the town of Mansfield. Both are located in Nottinghamshire, England.
The station is on the Robin Hood Line between Nottingham and Worksop.
The station sees two services, an hourly Nottingham-Worksop (and return) and hourly working from Nottingham that terminates in the eastern side bay platform, formerly used by all trains prior to the full line reopening in 1998, before returning. During the evening, the Nottingham-Mansfield Woodhouse service does not run.
An hourly Sunday service was introduced in December 2008 with the first and last service being extended to/from Skegness the following summer. Since the May 2011 timetable change, the service frequency has been reduced to two-hourly (eight departures in all) and trains only run to and from Nottingham, with no service to Worksop.
East Midlands Trains also operate one daily service on Mondays to Fridays to Norwich via Peterborough, but there is no corresponding return train from Norwich.
A branch line veered west approximately half a mile north of the station. This single track line, known as "The Pleasley extension", ran through Pleasley Vale to Pleasley West station, and then it split into two.
One line turned sharply north and became the Doe Lea Branch, which wound a very circuitous route through Rowthorne, Glapwell, Bolsover, Barrow Hill and Whittington to Chesterfield. It closed to normal passenger traffic in 1930 and the section between Pleasley and Glapwell was lifted. Coal continued to go out northwards from Glapwell Colliery until it closed in 1974.
