Wilsthorpe Crossing Halt railway station was on the branch line between Bourne and Essendine, Lincolnshire, England.
History
The line of the Bourn and Essendine Railway (B&ER) opened on 16 June 1860,[1] with intermediate stations at Thurlby and Braceborough Spa. The B&ER was operated by the Great Northern Railway (GNR), which absorbed it on 25 July 1864.[1]
Wilsthorpe had a small sidings, used for the delivery of coals to a local pumping station before the halt was opened.[2]
In September 1925, the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER), which had been created on 1 January 1923 by the amalgamation of the GNR with several other railways, opened a station between Thurlby and Braceborough Spa, naming it Wilsthorpe Crossing Halt;[3] it was adjacent to a level crossing on the road connecting Wilsthorpe with Manthorpe.
The station closed with the line on 18 June 1951.[1][3]
