Twenty railway station
# Twenty railway station

Twenty railway station served the village of Twenty in Lincolnshire, England. It was on the route of the Spalding and Bourne Railway (opened 1866), later part of the Midland and Eastern Railway and then part of the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway main line between the Midlands and the Norfolk Coast.

## History

The station opened with the line on 1 August 1866, closed temporarily between 9 October 1880 and 1 February 1881, and closed permanently on 2 March 1959, although the line remained open for goods until 1964. The three intermediate stations between Spalding and Bourne had unusual names, because there were few nearby settlements; in the area there was a series of drainage ditches, the twentieth of which ran close to the station, hence the name "Twenty".
