Egginton is a village and civil parish in the local government district of South Derbyshire, England.

[1] The village is located just off Ryknild Street, otherwise known as the A38, between Derby and Stretton, Burton upon Trent.

[citation needed] In Fishpond Lane there is a row of tenants' cottages, some of which have their windows bricked up, dating back to the days of window-tax.

It ran from Grantham on the East Coast Main Line via Nottingham Victoria, over Bennerley Viaduct (which still stands today) to Derby Friargate Station.

The section of line between Egginton Junction and Friargate was then acquired by the Train Control Group of the BR Research Division, as a suitable test track.
