There's a suggestion in the article that the station reopened in 1991 and closed two days later. More detail, please. 94.197.121.80 (talk) 15:59, 17 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Well, it is cited, albeit to an unreliable source. It was High Marnam power station having an open weekend. Shuttle brake van trips were run to and from Ollerton. Personally I don't consider that to be "reopening" a station, as it was just a joining and alighting point for people on those special trains, but not for the general public.

A more reliable authority says that regular advertised summer Saturday excursions continued until 5 September 1964. Later occasional excursions used the station: for example on 28 April 1956 to Sheffield for football; Whit Monday 3 June 1963; one to Skegness 12 August 1972.
