Boston railway station serves the town of Boston in Lincolnshire.
The station has declined in importance since the 1960s. In it's heyday the station employed over 50 staff and had two through tracks and cover over the platform tracks. The Skegness bound platform had classic Great Northern Railway architecture buildings as well, now replaced with poor plastic shelters. The station frontage remains, albeit altered, in partially reconstructed manner, and some of the buildings have found new uses.
For information on the route and station contact SELTA (South East Lincolnshire travellers association) who continue to campaign for better publc transport in what is a poorly served part of the UK.
To the south of the station the access to Boston Docks via the swing bridge and the site of the Broadfield Lane depot remain. To the north along the old Lincoln to Boston and Horncastle route, about 2 miles north of the town is the old Hall Hills sleeper depot.
