Newark Castle railway station is a Grade II listed railway station which serves the town of Newark in Nottinghamshire, England.
It was built in 1846 for the Midland Railway in the Italianate style. It is on the Nottingham to Lincoln Line, owned by Network Rail and managed by East Midlands Trains (EMT) train operating company (TOC) who provide all services. Its name comes from the nearby castle. The other station in Newark is Newark North Gate.
Trains run hourly towards Lincoln eastbound, and half hourly to Nottingham westbound. Mondays to Saturdays, the Nottingham trains continue on alternately to Leicester and to Matlock via Derby. There is only a limited service on Sundays, with trains running as far as Nottingham. EMT supplement peak time services with a daily return train from Lincoln to London St Pancras International Monday to Saturday.
Toilets are available with a small waiting area. The station provides two shelters, bicycle storage, timetables and modern 'Help Points'.
Newark and Sherwood district and Nottinghamshire county councils and East Midlands Trains are in discussion to make the station the principal station on the Nottingham to Lincoln Line. A proposal to extend the Matlock - Nottingham service as far as Newark Castle will give the town a half-hourly service to Nottingham throughout the day. A draft consultation took place the autumn of 2014 place and services duly commenced in May 2015. Initially they ran only on weekdays, but from May 2016, these also run on Saturdays.
