It opened on 3 August 1846.[1] The station was renamed from Carlton & Netherfield to Carlton on 6 May 1974.[2]
The station has two staggered platforms, there is a level crossing on Victoria Road, hence the staggered platforms to minimise delay to road traffic, and Carlton's centre is a considerable distance further away than Netherfield's, but the nearby Netherfield railway station on the neighbouring Nottingham-Skegness line had already taken that name.
There is generally an hourly service from Carlton, with trains running westbound to Matlock via Nottingham and eastbound to Newark Castle with a few continuing to Lincoln at peak times and in the evening. There is a reduced service on Sundays.[6]
The station has a PlusBus scheme where train and bus tickets can be bought together for a cheaper price. It is in the same area as Beeston, Bulwell, Netherfield and Nottingham stations.
