Newark Northgate railway station (alternatively Newark North Gate) is on the East Coast Main Line serving the market town of Newark-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire, England.

The station is on the Great Northern Railway Towns Line from Peterborough to Doncaster which opened on 15 July 1852,[4] the easier to construct Fens Loop Line via Boston and Lincoln had opened two years earlier.

The joint line closed in 1962 except for isolated fragments, but the Newark to Bottesford Junction section survived until 1988.

[8] The short connection to the Newark Castle to Lincoln line was opened in 1965 by British Rail to maintain a link between the East Coast Main Line and Lincoln following the closure of the branch from the latter to Grantham.

There are plans to grade-separate the crossing by providing a flyover for east–west services, with a shallow enough gradient to accommodate freight trains.

A key geographical constraint on the construction of a flyover will be the proximity of the site to the River Trent and the A1 trunk road.

Network Rail's final Route Utilisation Strategy for the East Midlands estimated that a flyover would have a benefit:cost ratio of 1.4, with further benefits which could not be taken account of in the standard project appraisal procedures.
