Lakenheath railway station serves the village of Lakenheath in Suffolk, England.
The station lies some three miles north of the village of Lakenheath, and is not within convenient walking distance of any sizable population. However, there is a population of nearly 10,000 people (Brandon) within a 5 mile radius of the station. This did not stop the closure and selling off of the station car park.
A service of just one train a day in each direction is provided by 'one' railways, using Class 170 DMUs. The 07:35 to Noriwch and the 19:31 to Cambridge. No services stop on Sundays. Central Trains services pass through the station but do not stop there.
Lakenheath is one of the least-used stations in the United Kingdom, according to the Strategic Rail Authority figures of 2003.
