were sufficient in summer to handle the 18,000 wagons a month. During the winter about 26,000 wagons were handled a month. Hump working began in 1901, and it considerably speeded wagon sorting. The final addition in 1901 was the high-level goods avoiding line from Toton, with its spur to the
Nottingham line at Attenborough Junction. The work included the provision of quadruple track southwards from the Trent Junctions through Red Hill Tunnel and over the River Trent.

wagons a day. Actual reconstruction in the down yard was kept to a minimum, but in the up yard sixteen miles of track were completely taken up and replaced with twenty-seven miles, within two years. Four fans of sorting sidings were laid, comprising thirty-seven roads, plus eleven arrival lines and twenty storage roads. These up sidings received up to seventy trains daily in 1952 and despatched sixty; between them, the two yards handled two million wagons a year.
1754:. The course of the line traced numerous iron ore deposits and coal seams, as well as locations where limestone -- a key ingredient in the iron-making process -- could be worked. The opening of the line encouraged a huge expansion in the ironworks' activity, although Stanton's expansion was slow to get under way. Corresponding increases in colliery working were apparent, both to service the ironworks locally and for industrial and domestic consumption elsewhere.

This too was primarily a goods line, to divert the increasingly heavy traffic in meat, grain, fruit and timber from the Americas, imported via Liverpool and other Lancashire ports, away from the congested Ambergate–Derby–Trent line. Already freight from the West Riding was diverted down the Erewash Valley line at Clay Cross, regaining the Birmingham line at Stenson Junction using the

Passenger services began running to Pinxton on 1 August 1876. The GNR line to Derby from near Kimberley on the GNR’s Nottingham to Derby line opened fully on 1 April 1878. It crossed the Erewash Valley on a long lattice viaduct, named

The new
Erewash Valley line made a fork at Long Eaton: there was a sharp north-to-east curve towards Nottingham, and a southward line in the direction of Leicester. This crossed the former Midland Counties Derby to Nottingham line on the level. The intersection was known as "Platt's crossing", and it proved a notorious and very unsatisfactory arrangement.

Board were alarmed at this; the rich mineral workings of the
Erewash Valley would be under the control of another company; moreover an extension north to Clay Cross would form a new, shorter route and abstract from their own main line: exactly the same issue that had vexed the North Midland Railway in 1836.

In the 1930s a thorough modernisation of both yards was planned, and completed in May 1939 for the down yard. Work on the up yard was interrupted by the war and not completed until 1952. Diesel shunters were then extensively used, and the thirty-five sidings in the down yard could handle nearly 5,000

As well as several short connections to local mines, the Midland Railway built a number of longer branches and connecting lines. A branch from Stanton Gate to Shipley, beyond Ilkeston, was opened in 1870. On 1 May 1875 the Trowell to Radford cut-off was opened to allow quicker access to Nottingham,

The line was opened for public traffic on 6 September 1847, and on that day trains ran from Codnor Park to Long Eaton Junction. Codnor Park was already well established in the ironfounding industry. Long Eaton Junction was the focus of lines west to Derby, east to Nottingham and south to Leicester.

On the down side of the line, dealing with returning empties, there were five reception roads and seventeen sorting sidings in 1884. Loaded wagons are dealt with on the up side, where in 1884 there were nine reception roads and sixteen sorting sidings. Much shunting was done by horses; about forty

The mineral wealth of the Erewash Valley was such that the Great Northern Railway, already established at Colwick, sought to expand westwards. After a false start, the GNR got a scheme authorised in 1872, and its own Pinxton line was begun first to bring it coal traffic. It ran to the east of the

In common with other local passenger services in the greater Nottingham area, the Ilkeston branch was closed to passengers on 16 June 1947. Intermediate stations on the main line were later closed and local passenger trains ceased to operate from 2 January 1967. Mansfield was by this time a very
