Mansfield railway station serves the large town of Mansfield in Nottinghamshire, England. Alternatively it is named Mansfield Town, probably to distinguish itself from Mansfield Woodhouse. The station is 27 km (17 miles) north of Nottingham on the Robin Hood Line and is managed by East Midlands Trains.
The station has the PlusBus scheme where train and bus tickets can be bought together at a saving.
Before the station was re-opened in 1995, the town was the largest in the United Kingdom without one. The then nearest railway station, Alfreton, was known as "Alfreton and Mansfield Parkway".
Monday to Saturday daytimes there is a half-hourly service from Mansfield to Nottingham (southbound) and Mansfield Woodhouse (northbound) with an hourly service onwards to Worksop. Evenings, there is an hourly service to Nottingham and Worksop with no trains on Sundays.
Former operator Central Trains has been replaced by a new company called East Midlands Trains from November 2007 which operates all services in the East Midlands. The franchise is operated by the Stagecoach group who have expressed an interest in running Sunday service from the spring of 2008. A new timetable will come into force from December 8th.
