Langley Mill railway station (Erewash Valley line)

It was opened in 1895 by the Midland Railway on its branch between Heanor Junction on the Erewash Valley Line and Ripley.

[3] It then passed along a short tightly curved spur to reach the platform with its own waiting room and toilet.

One particularly complex service ran from Nottingham through Basford and Kimberley to Ilkeston Town, then via Langley Mill through Ripley and Butterley to Chesterfield.

In the Grouping of all lines, into four main companies, in 1923 the station became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway.

From 1914, the line had been in competition with a tramcar service opened by the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Tramways Company.
