Tumby Woodside railway station was a station in Tumby Woodside, Lincolnshire, England on the Kirkstead and Little Steeping Railway which ran between Lincoln and Firsby. The site is now left in an overgrown and unkempt state. The station masters house survives as a private residence. It served the village until closure in 1970 and was immortalised in 1964 in the song "Slow Train" by Flanders and Swann. [2][3]
