Dinnington and Laughton Railway Station
Situated on the South Yorkshire Joint Railway line, Dinnington and Laughton Railway Station was built between the villages of Dinnington and Laughton-en-le-Morthen at Laughton Common.
There were two pre-opening excursions on June 20th 1910 before the proper one on December 1st 1910. The station was served by Doncaster-Shireoaks passenger service, provided jointly by the Great Central Railway and the Great Northern Railway.
However, the GNR left this arrangement after just one year and the GCR carried on, extending the service to Worksop in 1920.
The station closed in April 1926 but reopened on July 25th 1927 and finally closed on December 2nd 1929. The station buildings, including a wooden booking office, waiting room and lamp room on the Worksop-bound platform and brick-built structures on the opposite side lasted until the mid-1960s before being cleared.
