Whittington railway station

[3] The initial station comprised wooden buildings with platforms on both lines, and roads were made from the old and new villages for access.

Railway officials learned that it was the intention of the mob to stone the train due to arrive at 10.11 for Chesterfield.

The soldiers were brought to Whittington and detrained about 100 yards (91 m) north of the station and proceeded on foot to clear a safe passage for the people in the train following.

The mob returned the next day and stoned the station buildings, breaking around half of the windows.

It is used predominantly for freight, with a handful of passenger trains going the "long way round" from Chesterfield to Sheffield via the Old Road and Darnall largely to retain staff route knowledge in case of diversions.
