In 1862 gas lighting was introduced.〔Nottinghamshire Guardian - 4 April 1862〕 In 1871 the line was extended to Mansfield. The contractors for the construction were Eckersley and Baylis.〔Sheffield Daily Telegraph - 24 February 1871〕 The cast iron bridges on the route were built by Handyside and Co of Derby.〔Derby Mercury - 8 March 1871〕 The Midland Railway took the opportunity to rebuild the platform shelters and the station master's house were dismantled and rebuilt at Beeston railway station. The Mansfield to Southwell section, which passed through a mining area closed to passengers in 1929,〔Derby Daily Telegraph - 3 August 1929〕 but the Southwell to Rolleston Junction section remained open until 1959 and freight services ended in the Beeching cuts in 1964.
