Spilsby railway station was a railway station in the market town of Spilsby, Lincolnshire, England.[2] The station stood on a four mile long branch line between Spilsby and Firsby Junction,[3] where it connected with the main line from Cleethorpes to London, and was opened on 1 May 1868.[4] However, traffic on the line soon slumped, and the line was bought by the Great Northern Railway in 1890. In 1939 passenger services on the line were suspended, leaving only a goods service which itself ceased in 1958, when the railway station and line were closed.[5]
