Upperthorpe and Killamarsh railway station was a railway station in Upperthorpe and Killamarsh, Derbyshire. England. It was opened by the Lancashire, Derbyshire and East Coast Railway in 1898 and closed in 1930, the line itself closing to passengers in 1939. [2]
The first station here had been opened by North Midland Railway in 1840 It was replaced by the Midland Railway in 1873 by a station that was renamed "Killamarsh West". Then in 1892, the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway opened a station (later called "Killamarsh Central") when it began to build south into Derbyshire.
The LD&ECR wished to extend into Sheffield using the MS&LR's lines but was rebuffed, and instead joined the Midland's line at Beighton Junction, to join the Sheffield District Railway at Treeton Junction.
