Catcliffe railway station

The station was noted for its bleak and isolated location which earned it the name "Klondyke" from the local population.

On Saturdays an extra lunchtime train ran out and back, calling at Catcliffe northbound only.

To travel from Sheffield (MR) to Chesterfield (MR) via the "Old Road" it was necessary to head off north east towards Rotherham then swing south onto the "Old Road" itself which was the original North Midland Railway route from Rotherham to Chesterfield along the Rother Valley.

Three trains a day ran to Holmes almost in Rotherham itself before turning sharply south to Treeton.

[9] By August 1939 the service to Mansfield remained little changed, except that Upperthorpe and Killamarsh railway station had closed in 1930 and not all called at Attercliffe Road.
