-- Scunthorpe railway station serves the town of Scunthorpe in North Lincolnshire, England. The station is located a short walk from the town centre, on Station Road.
As one approaches the station by road, there is a pay-and-display car park with approximately 50 spaces, including two designated disabled spaces. From the car park, it is a short walk to the Ticket Office.
The station has two platforms. Platform 1 serves mainly eastbound trains toward Grimsby/Cleethorpes, though some Northern Trains local services toward Doncaster use this platform through the day, as it is signalled for use in both directions. All westbound TransPennine Express (TPE) services, and most Northern services use Platform 2. This platform is accessible via a footbridge over the tracks. Lifts became available at this station in spring 2019 for wheelchair users and mobility-impaired passengers.
The station has limited seating on both platforms and three waiting rooms. There are toilets available on Platform 1.
This is not the original Scunthorpe station. The original station was known as Frodingham and located over half a mile to the east near the Brigg Road bridge (then a level crossing). It opened in 1864; it was replaced by a second station just 200 yd west of the first in 1887. This one was closed when the present station was opened on 11 March 1928. For over 40 years, the original station was known as "Scunthorpe & Frodingham".
From 1906, the town had another station serving the North Lindsey Light Railway, a line which ran from Dawes Lane, about half a mile to the east, to (originally) West Halton.

A programme of major engineering work on the route between Thorne Junction and Scunthorpe in the summer of 2009 closed the line for 10 weeks to allow embankment reconstruction work to take place.
In February 2013 the line northeast of Hatfield and Stainforth station towards Thorne was blocked by the Hatfield Colliery landslip, with all services over the section halted. The line reopened in July 2013. During the closure a modified timetable was in operation with Cleethorpes trains starting/terminating here.
