Station name
There is significant ambiguity about the correct form of the station's name. Different station name signs on the platforms say "Newark North Gate" or "Newark Northgate" (below right). On exiting the station, the old
British Rail sign says just "Northgate" and road signs towards the station say 'Northgate'.
The NXEC website,says just "Newark" (as nxec doesn't serve Newark Castle); however, it does use "Newark North Gate" in its timetables. So, apparently, the station's official name
is Newark North Gate
