Cresswell station
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.

Railway north from Creswell station
Looking towards Worksop. The semaphore signal visible here is one of several in this area; however, the signal box that controls them (Elmton & Creswell Junction, which can just be picked out behind the signal) was switched out on this day and may have been closed completely. There is provision for a second signal arm; this would have been for trains diverging from the main line at the junction that formerly existed a little way ahead.

Creswell railway station
Looking towards Worksop. The house style of the stations rebuilt or refurbished for the reopening of the Robin Hood Line is evident in the platform surfaces and lighting, although this platform is unusual in having two lights per column.
