North Drove railway station was a station serving Pode Hole in Lincolnshire, England. It was on the route of the Spalding and Bourne Railway (opened 1866),[1] later part of the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway.[2]
The station and line opened on 1 August 1866, closed temporarily between 9 October 1880 and 1 February 1881, and closed permanently on 15 September 1958,[3] although the line remained open for goods until 1964.[4] The three intermediate stations between Spalding and Bourne had unusual names, because there were few nearby settlements; the local meaning of "Drove" is a road flanked by ditches or streams.[5]
