Bawtry to Haxey railway line information


The Bawtry to Haxey railway line was a line built on the border of Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and Yorkshire, opening in 1912. It was part of an earlier scheme to convey coal from a new colliery at Tickhill to Grimsby for export. After authorisation, its promoters did not proceed with construction, and when the South Yorkshire Joint Railway was built, serving Tickhill and other developing pits, that line was a better outlet for the minerals and the promoters lost interest in the Tickhill line.

Eventually the Great Northern Railway adopted the powers and built the line, but it never carried mineral trunk hauls and became simply an insignificant agricultural siding. It closed in 1964 or 1965.
