Creswell and Welbeck railway station was a railway station in Creswell, Derbyshire, England. It was opened by the Lancashire, Derbyshire and East Coast Railway in March 1897 and closed in 1939.
From Shirebrook the line ran northwards parallel to the Midland Railway's line, for about two miles, then veered north west to Creswell and Welbeck. The Midland Railway line continued northwards to a station at Elmton and Creswell which has been reopened in recent years as part of the Robin Hood Line.
The line then climbed at 1 in 100 to Clowne.

Famous quotes containing the words railway and/or station:
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“How soon country people forget. When they fall in love with a city it is forever, and it is like forever. As though there never was a time when they didn’t love it. The minute they arrive at the train station or get off the ferry and glimpse the wide streets and the wasteful lamps lighting them, they know they are born for it. There, in a city, they are not so much new as themselves: their stronger, riskier selves.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
