Looking north from the site of the old Stow Park station On 9th April 1849 a single-track line was built by the Great Northern Railway (GNR) from Lincoln to Gainsborough. The GNR was keen to extend their line from Gainsborough to Doncaster and parliamentary approval for this line was received on 25th July 1864. As part of this scheme the existing Lincoln to Gainsborough line was also to be upgraded. On 1st December that year the line from Lincoln to Doncaster was closed and doubling took place.
