Stixwould railway station was a station in Stixwould, Lincolnshire, England.[1][2]
History
The station was also the site of the Stixwould ferry across the River Witham, which closed in the 1960s.[3]
The station building and signal box have been converted into a private dwelling and guest house called Time Away. The line has become part of the Water Rail Way, supported by Sustrans. The platforms survive and one has a station name board.
