West of the station lay, from the west, Duckmanton Tunnel and Cutting, the GCR main line (which ran North to South from Sheffield Victoria to London Marylebone) and a bridge carrying the road to Sutton which still stands, albeit infilled underneath.

In 1938 Arkwright Colliery was opened and a siding was squeezed in to serve it, turning sharply south between the GCR main line and Sutton Road.

The last passenger train to call at the station was an enthusiasts' special on 17 June 1961 formed of a two carriage Diesel Multiple Unit.

The landscaping has removed all trace of the station, the colliery and the railway east of the GCR Main Line, opening vistas from (for example) the Sutton Road never seen in the 20th Century.

"[11] The next station was Bolsover South after crossing the Doe Lea Viaduct which, though strongly built, suffered from coal mining subsidence, as did many of the lines in the area.
