NEWARK NORTH GATE RAILWAY STATION

(Redirected from Newark Northgate)

'Newark North Gate station' is a railway station on the East Coast Main Line, between Grantham and Retford in United Kingdom.
It was owned by GNR when opened.
Newark-on-Trent is a small market town, 25 miles east of Nottingham. Newark has two railway stations. Newark North Gate is located at the east of the town and links this town to all the other cities on the East Coast Main Line.
From Newark North Gate, train services are run by GNER and, from platforms 1 and 2, serve stations to Leeds, Newcastle and Scotland to the North and towns before London to the south. It is also served by a Central Trains service to Lincoln and Grimsby from platform 3. This is timed to link with GNER services.
The other station called Newark Castle, is operated by Central Trains, and is located near the town centre. It links Newark to Nottingham, Lincoln and other cities in central England.
A raillink bus operates to this station from Lincoln Bus Station.

Station name

There is significant ambiguity about the correct form of the station's name. Different station name signs on the platforms say "Newark North Gate" or "Newark Northgate". On exiting the station, the old British Rail sign says just "Northgate".
On one platform, both Newark Northgate and Newark North Gate are used. (right)
And road signs towards the station say 'Northgate'.


The GNER website, on the Station information page and its network map, says just "Newark" (as GNER does not serve Newark Castle); however, it does use "Newark North Gate" in its timetables (example) and PR (example).

So, apparently, the station's official name ''is'' 'Newark North Gate'.
