This section of railway was originally built as part of the Coleorton Railway, opened in 1833 and closed in 1860. It was reopened in 1924 to connect the newly-sunk New Lount colliery with the LMSR line from Ashby-de-la-Zouch to Derby. When the colliery closed in 1968 the line was closed and lifted for the second time.
