Locksley is a closed
Initially a siding surrounded by sawmills, it was not opened to public goods traffic until 1883, with a passenger platform also added. In 1885, a signal box was provided, in 1887 a new passenger platform was erected, and a goods shed was built in 1890, located on down side. In 1898, the station building was destroyed by fire, with a replacement building built within the following year.[2] The station differed to others on the section of line, having the platform fronting onto the mainline, instead of being on a loop siding. In 1904, the mainline was modified to place it through number 2 road, which put the platform on a siding. The final layout was provided in 1916, with three roads and a goods siding.[2] The station closed to passengers on 1 April 1973, and was closed to all traffic in 1977.[1]
