Creswell railway station serves the village Creswell in Derbyshire, England. The station is on the Robin Hood Line between Nottingham and Worksop. It is also the nearest station to the larger village of Clowne.
History
The line and the station was built by the Midland Railway. The station was designed by the Midland Railway company architect John Holloway Sanders.[1]
On 24 February 1886[2] it was renamed as Elmton and Creswell to prevent confusion with the nearby Creswell and Welbeck station opened by the LD&ECR in 1897Шаблон:Sfn and closed at the outbreak of WW2.Шаблон:Sfn

Branch line
A branch line veered west immediately north of the station. Its remains are still plainly visible from the north end of the platforms and from Worksop trains. This was the Clowne Branch, which wound a very circuitous route through Clowne, Staveley, Шаблон:Rws and Шаблон:Rws to Шаблон:Rws. It closed to normal passenger traffic in 1954, though Summer holiday trains to Шаблон:Rws continued until 1962.
It remained open to freight traffic until the 1980s when the combination of an underground fire and the need to replace tracks led to its closure. The trackbed was formally protected in case a use was found, such as for opencast traffic or for access to the Markham Enterprise Growth Zone at M1 Junction 29A although this never came into fruition and the tracks were removed and the area landscaped to create the Clowne Branch Line Greenway, a shared bike and walking trail starting in Creswell and culminating at Poolsbrook Country Park.
Services
All services at Creswell are operated by East Midlands Railway.
On weekdays and Saturdays, the station is generally served by an hourly service northbound to Шаблон:Stnlnk and southbound to Шаблон:Stnlnk via Шаблон:Stnlnk.[7]
There is currently no Sunday service at the station since the previous service of four trains per day was withdrawn in 2011. Sunday services at the station are due to recommence at the station during the life of the East Midlands franchise.[8]
