Retford Station

[GNERman]

Dear All,

Me and a friend are planning a trip to Retford Station for some filming and want to know about the freight and passenger situation there.
I already know about passenger etc:

NXEC - stop and fly through...
GC - fly through
FHT - stop
NR - stop (lower level)

I've had a look on my track diagrams and I can see there a few coal industries along the low level Retford platforms towards Lincoln etc.

Does anyone know if any of these pass through the low level station and which operator.

Also tell me if I missed any passenger services.
Is there any freight on the high level?
Thanks

There is *one* Northern service from the high level platforms towards Sheffield, to maintain the chord, can't remember the time though

There is two. 0546 Sheffield to Retford which forms 0703 Retford to Leeds and 2018 Huddersfield to Retford which forms 2245 back to Sheffield.

has anyone been there and do they know if you can film the through tracks?

Yes, the through lines go through the centre of the station
