English: Site of Dukeries Junction (High Level) station, 1992
View westward, towards Shirebrook/Langwith and Chesterfield: ex-GCR (Lancashire, Derbyshire & East Coast line), Chesterfield - Shirebrook North - Lincoln. This station was never a Junction, but was a little-used dual (High Level/Low Level) interchange station between the LD&EC and the East Coast Main Line (ex-Great Northern) below. Hardly any trains on either line ever stopped here and the station(s) were closed 6/3/50. The LD&ECR was closed Chesterfield - Shirebrook North to passengers 1/12/51, to goods 4/3/57: Shirebrook North - Lincoln to passengers 19/9/55, to goods 30/3/64, but remained open until 2003 from Shirebrook/Langwith Junction for merry-go-round coal trains for High Marnham Power Station near Clifton-on-Trent. From 10/7/09 this stretch, between Thoresby Colliery Junction and High Marnham, has been restored as the High Marnham Test Track.
