Ollerton railway station

The station was opened by the LD&ECR in 1896 and closed to local passenger traffic in 1955, though Summer holiday excursions to and from the East Coast continued to call until September 1964.

[8] Three trains per day terminated at Ollerton from Nottingham Victoria via Mansfield Central then went back again half an hour or so later.

[16][17] As a marketing device the LD&ECR called itself "The Dukeries Route" because the line passed through an area of great landed estates.

[22] In the mid-twentieth century, the LMS and LNER jointly proposed a coal line to be called the Mid-Notts Joint Railway from Bestwood Park Junction, near Nottingham to Checker House Junction on the former GCR line near Retford.

[25] The line through Ollerton Station was reopened to non-passenger traffic in August 2009 as the High Marnham Test Track.
