Mansfield railway station serves the large town of Mansfield in Nottinghamshire, England. Alternatively it is named Mansfield Town, to distinguish itself from Mansfield Woodhouse and the GCR's former Mansfield Central. The station is 17 miles (27 km) north of Nottingham on the Robin Hood Line and is managed by East Midlands Trains.
The station has the PlusBus scheme where train and bus tickets can be bought together at a saving.
Before the station was re-opened in 1995, the town was the largest in the United Kingdom without one, all the more remarkable when it is considered that Mansfield pioneered the railway in the East Midlands. The then nearest railway station, Alfreton, was known as "Alfreton and Mansfield Parkway".

Famous quotes containing the words mansfield, railway and/or station:
“I’m a writer first & a woman after.”
—Katherine Mansfield (1888–1923)
“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)
