Sheffield Lost Stations - Killamarsh Central Railway Station

We're continuing our series on the lost railway stations from the Sheffield area. We've just nipped over the border into Derbyshire and the village of Killamarsh. Killamarsh Sation opened in 1892 as part of the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway. It later transfered to what is commonly known as the Great Central Railway, which ran between London Marleybone, Nottingham, Sheffield and Manchester. In 1950, the station was renamed Killamarsh Central, however in 1963 the station was closed to passenger traffic. The abandoned station saw freight traffic until the early 1980s, when the trackbed was finally lifted. In the modern day, the station sits on the hugely popular Trans-Pennine Trail path on the Sheffield to Chesterfield section. Cyclists, Runners and Walkers pass through the station every day to enjoy the traffic free route. The northbound platform is still accessible to walk along and the old footbridge is now a public right of way to access the trail through the station.
