Long Eaton Railway Station (1847-1863)
This Long Eaton railway station was built in 1847 for the Midland Railway.
History
Situated on Nottingham Road, it opened in 1847 on the Erewash Valley Line. The station built by the Midland Counties Railway known as Long Eaton and opened in 1839 was renamed Long Eaton Junction.
It closed for passengers on 1 June 1863 when a new Long Eaton station opened on Station Road, but appears to have remained open for goods traffic for a few years afterwards.
