Willington railway station serves the village of Willington in Derbyshire, England. The station is 6¼ miles (10 km) south west of Derby on the Derby to Birmingham New Street line.
The original station was opened in 1839 by the Birmingham and Derby Junction Railway on its original route from Derby to Hampton-in-Arden meeting the London and Birmingham Railway for London. The station was renamed Repton and Willington in 1855 with a notice on the platform: "Alight here for Repton School".[1][2] It closed for goods in 1964 and for passengers in 1968.
The present station was opened in 1994. It is planned that both platforms will be extended by up to 16 metres by no later than 2012.[3]
Services
All services are operated by CrossCountry. East Midlands Trains operate the station but none of their trains call here. The present station was constructed in 1994. It is served by a limited number of Birmingham New Street - Nottingham CrossCountry trains (seven each way Mondays - Saturdays in the 2015-16 timetable). There is no Sunday service.[4]
East Midlands Trains used to run a couple of semi-fast services from Burton upon Trent to London St Pancras International. The last London service to call at Willington was on Saturday 13 September 2008. Passengers for London must now change at Birmingham for Virgin Trains services to London Euston, at Tamworth for London Midland services to Euston or at Derby for the original East Midlands Trains services to London St Pancras International.
Peartree is between Willington and Derby, but no trains from Willington stop at Peartree.
