View NE, towards Derby: ex-Midland Derby - Birmingham main line. The station, formerly 'Repton & Willington', was closed 4/3/68, but was reopened this day (29/5/95) as 'Willington'. A Class 158 DMU approaches on a Down service from Derby towards Burton-on-Trent. The station was reopened as part of the Ivanhoe Line project, which has subsequently been severely curtailed.
