Beighton railway station is a former railway station near the village of Beighton on the border between Derbyshire and South Yorkshire, England. ==Three stations== Beighton station existed on three sites at different times: * the first station, believed to have been little more than a halt, was opened by the North Midland Railway when it built its to line, which is now predominantly a freight route. At south of it stood approximately half way between what is now Beighton Junction and the overbridge which still carries passenger trains east-west between and .〔(Approximate location of first Beighton station )〕 This original station was opened when the line opened in June 1840, it was not near to or convenient for the village of Beighton and closed in January 1843. * in 1849 the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway (MS&LR) completed its Sheffield to Worksop line, which included a branch from just east of to join the North Midland line at what became known as Beighton Junction. They built Beighton's second station at a site on their line only, close to, but not on, the junction. The MS&LR hurried to open this branch to enable a revenue earning service to Eckington to commence and give connections to North Midland trains. This second station closed temporarily from 1852 to 1854 then continued in use until 1892. * in 1892 the MS&LR opened its "Derbyshire Lines" route near Beighton. This would eventually become part of the Great Central Main Line. On 1 November 1893 the MS&LR closed Beighton's second station and opened its third and final station at a site north west of the second site, immediately north of the Rotherham Road level crossing. At the time this station was within Derbyshire but following changes in boundaries the site is now within the City of Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beighton railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
