Spilsby branch
The Spilsby branch was a 4-mile (6.4 km) long Firsby to Spilsby Railway single track branch railway line that ran between Firsby, on the Kings Cross London to Cleethorpes main line, to Spilsby, Lincolnshire, via one intermediate station, Halton Holgate. The branch line was authorised in 1865 and construction started in 1867. The branch line opened on 1 May 1868 and services started the following day. The line was poorly used from the start. Proposals to extend the line to Horncastle in the 1880s came to nothing. After the Firsby to Spilsby Railway proved unable to run the line at a profit the Great Northern Railway bought the line in 1890.
