Thornton Curtis railway station was a temporary structure provided by the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway until it opened Thornton Abbey station 42 chains (840 m) to the north.[2][3]

The station was situated south west of College Farm in what in 2015 was still open country with no road access. The line through the station opened on 2 April 1848, with Thornton Curtis opening "a little later". It appeared in Bradshaw from June to November 1848 inclusive. The station's permanent successor first appeared in Bradshaw in August 1849.[4]

By 2015 the only suggestion that a station might ever have existed at the site was a slight widening of the cutting.
