|} Stretton railway station was a railway station at Stretton, Derbyshire, England built by the North Midland Railway. Stretton station was first opened in 1841 as Smithy Moor, a year after the line opened, but renamed in 1843. It is also called "Shelton" in the Railway Guide.〔''The North Midland Railway Guide'', (1842) Republished 1973, Leeds: Turntable Enterprises〕 It was situated at the Derbyshire summit and the highest point of the line, after the stations at Ambergate and Wingfield, and just before the Clay Cross Tunnel. A station on the Ashover Light Railway (1 ft 11 1⁄2 in (597 mm) narrow gauge) from Ashover to Clay Cross was built adjoining it, and its passenger services were timed to connect with those on the North Midland. This was mainly used to carry limestone and fluorspar to the Clay Cross Company works, but also supplied around 400 tons of ballast per week to the railway until the quarry closed in 1950.〔Radford, B., (1988) ''Midland Through the Peak'' Unicorn Books〕 The station closed on 11 September 1961. There are no visible remains. ==References== 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「Stretton railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
