Blidworth and Rainworth railway station

Blidworth and Rainworth railway station served the villages of Blidworth and Rainworth in Nottinghamshire, England; it was a stop on the Midland Railway's Rolleston Junction to Mansfield line.

The station opened in 1871[1] as Rainworth when the Midland Railway extended the existing Rollesdon Junction to Southwell line from Southwell to Mansfield.

[2] The station closed to passengers on 12 August 1929[3] when the Mansfield to Southwell section, which passed through a mining area, closed to passengers.

The railway replaced it with a road motor omnibus service provided in conjunction with Mansfield and District Tramways Limited connecting with the railway stations between Mansfield and Newark.

[citation needed] Nothing remains of the station or trackbed and it has been lost to a housing development called Curzon Close.
