The station did not reopen as part of the Robin Hood Line project in the 1990s.
Opened by the Midland Railway, it became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923.
The station then passed on to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948 who closed it five years later.
Trains operating on the Robin Hood Line still pass the site.
Although the line re-opened in stages during the 1990s, Annesley station did not reopen due to its proximity to Newstead.
