Scrooby was a railway station on the Great Northern Railway running between Retford and Doncaster. The station served the small village of Scrooby until closed in 1931, though an excursion stopped in 1938.[3] Sunday trains ended in 1924.[4] In 1897 it had a booking office, waiting room, stationmaster's house, signal box and 5 passenger trains a day each way, but no goods facilities.[5] About 1978 the signal box was replaced by Doncaster power box.[6]
The area was also famous for the water troughs on the line from about 1903[7] to about 1969.
