Railway station in Nottinghamshire, England

Newark Northgate railway station (alternatively Newark North Gate) is on the East Coast Main Line serving the market town of Newark on Trent, Nottinghamshire, England. It is 120 mile (193 km) down the line from The station is Grade II listed. the easier to construct Fens Loop Line via Boston and Lincoln had opened two years earlier. The station opened without any ceremony. The first train of passengers from the north arrived at 6.38 am and those from the south arrived at 8.05 am. The buildings comprised a booking office, cloak room, first and second class ladies’ and other waiting rooms, and a large refreshment room 51 feet (16 m) by 21 feet (6 m), and a smaller one 21 feet (6 m) by 14 feet (4 m). The platforms were 435 feet (133 m) long, with awnings provided for 50 feet (15 m) of their length. There was a coal depot, goods warehouse and sheds to accommodate 4 locomotives. The station became a junction in 1879 with the opening of the Great Northern Railway branch to Bottesford, built as a northern extension of the Great Northern and London and North Western Joint Railway which opened at the same time. Services from Newark were provided to Northampton or Leicester and also to Nottingham. Services onto the joint line from Newark were withdrawn by 1922. The line was much used for through goods, especially between Newark and Northampton. The joint line closed in 1962 except for isolated fragments, but the Newark to Bottesford Junction section survived until 1988. On 9 July 1928, King George V and Queen Mary arrived at the station from King's Cross where they were received by the 6th Duke of Portland. The short connection to the Newark Castle to Lincoln line was opened in 1965 by British Rail to maintain a link between the East Coast Main Line and Lincoln following the closure of the branch from the latter to Grantham. This remains in use today by trains to Lincoln and Grimsby.

The station is just south of the Newark Flat Crossing, one of the few remaining flat railway crossings in the UK. The East Coast Main Line is crossed by the Nottingham Lincoln line. Trains on the East Coast Main Line not calling at Newark Northgate have to slow from to at the crossing. There are plans to grade separate the crossing by providing a flyover for east–west services, with a shallow enough gradient to accommodate freight trains. A key geographical constraint on the construction of a flyover will be the proximity of the site to the River Trent and the A1 trunk road. The benefits of a flyover would include higher capacity on both the East Coast Main Line and the Nottingham Lincoln line, for both passengers and freight; journey time improvements; and a more reliable timetable. Network Rail's final Route Utilisation Strategy for the East Midlands estimated that a flyover would have a benefit:cost ratio of 1.4, with further benefits which could not be taken account of in the standard project appraisal procedures. The RUS recommended that the provision of a flyover at Newark was further developed in Control Period 4 (2009–2014) to refine the infrastructure costs and potential benefits, with the possibility of constructing it in Control Period 5 (2014–2019).

There has been significant ambiguity about the correct form of the station's name. Physical signage on and around the station refer to "Newark Northgate" whilst some booking systems refer to "Newark North Gate". On exiting the station, the old British Rail sign says just "Northgate" and road signs towards the station say 'Northgate' along with local businesses and the bus companies.
