View northward, towards Worksop (formerly also, curving to the left, towards Clowne etc.): ex-Midland Nottingham - Mansfield - Worksop, and Clowne branch to Staveley and Chesterfield. The station had been 'Elmton & Cresswell' until closed, along with the Nottingham - Worksop line, from 12/10/64. It was rebuilt as 'Cresswell' on 25/5/98, on the new Robin Hood Line which was restored Nottingham - Newstead in 5/93, on to Mansfield Woodhouse in 11/95 and to Worksop in 6/98. Passenger services on the Clowne branch to Chesterfield ceased from 5/7/54, but freight (coal) lasted another 30 years and it would seem that a use may yet be found for the line.
