3.Were there trains to Skegness from the Mansfield Central?
Yes
the route was the Lancashire, Derbyshire and East Coast Railway (LD&CECR) which was eventually LNER the Line started at Chesterfield Market Place

I only ever saw one train on it the crane removing the track from Horns Bridge but we used to park the car in the old station carpark at Skeggie although when my kids were small we saw a Class 37 in there one of the last freight trains ever apparently.
