Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Basford North (former Basford & Bulwell) Station
View eastward, towards Nottingham (Victoria), Colwick etc. and Grantham. Basford & Bulwell station only became 'Basford North' on 21/9/53; it was closed on 7/9/64 to passengers, along with the service from Derby (Friargate) etc. (goods 4/9/67). Beyond the station can be seen Park Lane Bridge, beyond which was the bridge carrying the main ex-Great Central line from Sheffield (Victoria) to Nottingham and the South. Trains through this station to/from Nottingham Victoria joined the main line at Bagthorpe Junction by connections either side of this bridge. A curve to the left just beyond the end of the Up (left) platform connected at Bulwell South Junction with the main line towards Sheffield. The lines straight ahead led to Leen Valley Junction and by the Daybrook Loop ('Back Line') round the north side of Nottingham to the great Colwick Yards and the main line to Grantham; the Back Line lost its meagre passenger services after the partial collapse of Mapperley Tunnel on 4/4/60, although Goods continued until 1/6/64. The GC main line effectively ceased as a through route on 5/9/66 and Nottingham Victoria closed on 5/7/67.
