Chesterfield Train Station

Chesterfield Train Station dates back to 1840, although the station and complex was refurbished and rebuilt back in 1996.

Chesterfield Train Station is located off Crow Lane and includes a car park, taxi rank and bus stop. There is also a small car park on the other side of Crow Lane which does not have a parking charge.

The main entrance leads to the station concourse, which is very spacious and was built in the late 1990s. It includes a ticket office, a newsagent, a café and a waiting room. The concourse and the waiting room both have direct access to platform 1.

There is also a waiting room on platform 2, which is accessed via a tunnel, using the stairs or lift in the concourse.

The station is maintained to a high standard. In fact last time i visited they were even displaying works of art from Chatsworth house in the waiting room!

There are 2 passenger lines and 2 goods railway lines.

The fast lines have two large sided platforms - one for each direction. The goods lines do not have platforms and pass around the rear of platform 2. The platforms are covered for around half their length.

Platform 1 is for northbound trains,

for stations towards Sheffield, Manchester Piccadilly, Manchester Oxford Road, Liverpool Lime Street, Leeds, York, Doncaster, Newcastle, Edinburgh Waverley and Glasgow Central.

Platform 2 is for southbound trains,

calling at stations towards London St Pancras International, Derby, Nottingham, Peterborough, Norwich, Cambridge, Leicester, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff Central, Bournemouth, Southampton, Plymouth and Paignton.

The 07:40 East Midlands Trains Master Cutler service runs directly to London non-stop Mondays to Fridays providing a fast business train. The service also uses the Erewash Valley Line avoiding Derby.

The building of an additional platform at Chesterfield station is being planned for 2008. This is building part of the East Midlands North Erewash resignalling scheme and will allow passenger services to run on the bi-directional down slow line (goods line) from the new Chesterfield South Junction to Tapton Junction during perturbation or engineering work on the fast lines in this area. It will also facilitate the turn back of trains at Chesterfield during the proposed Bradway Tunnel blockade in 2008/9.

This station is currently owned by Network Rail but is operated by East Midlands Trains , which operates trains between Sheffield and London St Pancras International, and is part of the Stagecoach Group.
