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 {{convert|17|mi|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 2016) has manually-wound wooden gates rather than modern lifting barriers. Since the main line was re-signalled in January 2016, the box has become the 'fringe' on this route to the Rail operating centre at York.

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

Facilities

The station is unmanned and has only basic amenities - a single shelter on the southbound platform, a payphone and timetable poster boards on each side. Tickets must be purchased prior to travel or on the train. Step-free access is available to each side via the level crossing.^[4]

Goxhill Station was notable for being the last operational BR railway station to retain original B.R. Eastern Region enamelled "totem" signs on the platform lamp-posts - one or two of these were dark-reddish/maroon rather than Eastern Region ultramarine dark blue, the reason for this being unclear.{{cn|date=June 2018}} These totems were finally replaced with more modern-style signage towards the end of 1988.{{cn|date=June 2018}}

Services

The station has a two-hourly service in each direction on weekdays & Saturdays, with a bus connection to/from {{rws|Hull Paragon}} via the Humber Bridge available at Barton. All services are operated by a {{BRC|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.^[5]
