Newark North Gate station is a Grade II listedrailway station in Newark-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire, England, on the East Coast Main Line 120 miles (193 km) north of London Kings Cross, between Grantham and Retford.
Newark-on-Trent is a market town, 25 miles (40 km) east of Nottingham. Newark has another station, Newark Castle, operated by East Midlands Trains and closer to the town centre. It links Newark to Nottingham, Lincoln and other cities in central England.
The station is on the Great Northern Railway Towns Line from Peterborough to Doncaster which opened in August 1852, the easier to construct Fens Loop Line via Boston and Lincoln had opened two years earlier.
The station became a junction in 1879 with the opening of the GNR branch to Bottesford, built as a northern extension of the Great Northern and London and North Western Joint Railway which opened at the same time. Services from Newark were provided to Northampton or Leicester and also to Nottingham. Services onto the joint line from Newark were withdrawn by 1922. The line was much used for through goods, especially between Newark and Northampton. The joint line closed in 1962 except for isolated fragments, but the Newark to Bottesford Junction section survived until 1988.
