History:

The first section of the Great Northern Railway (GNR) - that from Louth to a junction with the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway at Grimsby - opened on 1 March 1848, but the southern section of the main line, between Maiden Lane and Peterborough, was not opened until August 1850. St Neots was one of the original stations, opening with the line on 7 August 1850.

It was the scene of a derailment of a Scottish night express in 1895.
