Scunthorpe (Dawes Lane) railway station

The site of the station in March 2016

Scunthorpe (Dawes Lane) railway station was a small railway station, the original southern terminus of the North Lindsey Light Railway situated adjacent to the level crossing on Dawes Lane and about 1⁄2 mile east of the present mainline station, opened in 1926, and about 1⁄8 mile east of Frodingham railway station, Scunthorpe's first station.

The station was opened on 3 September 1906 with a service to Winterton and Thealby. Passenger services ended on 13 July 1925[1][2] but the section of line through the station is still open in connection with bulk waste trains from sites on Greater Manchester to a landfill at Roxby mines.[3]
