History
It is located on the line first opened by the Ambergate, Nottingham, Boston and Eastern Junction Railway on 15 July 1850 and taken over by the Great Northern Railway[4]
The station itself was opened by the Great Northern Railway. The station buildings were designed by Thomas Chambers Hine.
The Great Northern and London and North Western Joint Railway opened in 1879 from Saxondale Junction, a few miles east of the station. The London and North Western Railway then provided a Nottingham to Northampton service which ceased in 1953.
From 7 January 1963 passenger steam trains between Grantham, Bottesford, Elton and Orston, Aslockton, Bingham, Radcliffe-on-Trent, Netherfield and Colwick, Nottingham London-road (High Level) and Nottingham (Victoria) were replaced with diesel-multiple unit trains.[5]
The station was renamed from Radcliffe on Trent to Radcliffe on 6 May 1974.[6]
Services
As of December 2010 there are five trains each day to Nottingham and four to Skegness, with a single late evening service terminating at Boston.[7] All services are provided by East Midlands Railway, usually using Class 156 or Class 158 units. Express services between Norwich and Liverpool Lime Street call at the station once a day towards Liverpool, and also call here on 1 Sunday train to Norwich.
