Opened as "Sawley Junction" in 1888 by the Midland Railway on the lines from Derby to Nottingham and Leicester, this station was renamed "Long Eaton" in 1968. View west towards Sawley & Derby. The lifts to the platforms were installed in 2013, to complement the ramps from road level. Confusingly, there was a separate "Long Eaton" station until 1967 on the Erewash Valley line, around a mile away -see Image In effect, this is the fourth railway station to be called "Long Eaton".
