Kiveton Bridge railway stationis a railway station in the village ofKiveton ParkinSouth Yorkshire,England.It also served the now closedKiveton Park Collierywhich was adjacent.
The station was opened by theLondon and North Eastern Railwayon 8 July 1929 following pressure from the local councils who consideredKiveton Park stationandWaleswood stationtoo far away from the centre of the community. The new station consisted of two flanking wooden platform linked by an overbridge, access to which was gained through the booking office, set at road level adjacent to the main road through, and linking the villages. The station was originally served by stopping services linkingSheffield Victoria,CleethorpesandLincoln Central.
In the 1950s the wooden platforms were replaced with concrete ones and the wooden station buildings by plain brick built structures.
Along with neighbouringKiveton Park stationit was completely rebuilt during the early-1990s with modern platforms, lighting and waiting shelters, this work being funded by theSouth Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive.On completion of the work the station received new signs with the name erroneously shown as "Kiverton Bridge". These were replaced with the correct spelling by 21 May 1993. This was not the first time the name had been incorrectly shown: British Railways made the same mistake on large enamel signs in the late 1950s.
