Goxhill railway station serves the village of Goxhill in North Lincolnshire, England. It was built by the Great Grimsby and Sheffield Junction Railway in 1848. The station is on the Barton Line 17 miles (27 km) north west of Cleethorpes and all trains serving it are operated by Northern.

It is the last station, when travelling from Cleethorpes towards Barton, to still have two platforms and the original station buildings. The buildings are no longer in railway use (the station has been unstaffed since 1969) and are in private ownership.^[1] The station signal box controls a nearby level crossing that still (as of summer 2013) has manually-wound wooden gates rather than modern lifting barriers.

Between 1911 & 1963, it was also the junction for the Barton & Immingham Light Railway line to Immingham Dock via Killingholme.^[2][3] This route was single line throughout and left the present route just south of the station.

Services

The station has a two-hourly service in each direction on weekdays & Saturdays, with a bus connection to/from Hull Paragon via the Humber Bridge available at Barton. All services are operated by a Class 153 including the Sunday service in the summer (May to September), which is limited to four trips each way. No Sunday service operates for the remainder of the year.^[4]
