Railway
Arnold once had a railway station known as "Daybrook and Arnold". It was closed along with the rest of the line on 4 April 1960. The station was located on Mansfield Road on what is now a retail park. There is still evidence of the line in the form of remnants of the embankments on Arnot Hill Park (just behind the B&Q). The Line was the Great Northern Main Line later known as "the back route", with trains to Gedling and Netherfield with the terminus being Nottingham Victoria. Just after those embankments a later built railway The Nottingham Suburban joined it and ran over Thackerys Lane on a bridge on its way to Woodthorpe Park and beyond

Famous quotes containing the word railway:
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
