Mystery tour at Elmton & Creswell Junction, 1969
The "Flying Scotsman" pauses for water and the passengers take a look around. Unlikely to happen these days. The mystery train started from St Pancras and ended up at Cleethorpes considerably late, where the locomotive was declared a failure with a leaking steam pipe in the smokebox.

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.
