Ashover Butts railway station was a railway station serving the village of Ashover in Derbyshire, England. It was the terminus of the narrow gauge Ashover Light Railway. ==History==
After an order under the Light Railways Act that had been obtained in 1918 to build a standard gauge railway between the Midland Railway station at Stretton and Ashover, was not proceeded with because the cost was too high, in 1920 Colonel H. F. Stephens proposed building the railway to gauge. Construction started in 1922 and the railway opened to goods traffic in 1924. The formal opening to passenger traffic took place in March 1925. Although the line was successful at first, road competition traffic decline and all passenger services were withdrawn in 1936. The mineral traffic continued until the quarry closed with the railway closed in 1950.
