Lincoln St. Marks station looking east
Lincoln St. Marks station looking east Lincoln St. Marks station looks quiet in this early evening photograph looking east towards the town's High Street. As can be seen here, the station only had two platforms with two former centre passing lines that were truncated at just before the level crossing with the aforementioned High Street. These two stubs of track were used for light DMU and stock servicing hence the raised wooden platforms for staff to access the units. Signalling was controlled by a Midland box located a short distance behind me with a gatekeeper operating the barriers at the other end at the High Street. The station was opened by the Midland Railway in 1846 as the town's first station simply named Lincoln, the suffix of St. Marks was applied surprisingly late by British Railways in 1950. BR undertook a huge rationalisation of its operations in Lincoln a few years after this photograph was taken with the closure of the through route, along with St. Marks station coming in May 1985. The site lay derelict for a number of years until be turned into a shopping centre. Keywords: Lincoln St. Marks station
