Long Eaton railway station (1863-1967)
This Long Eaton railway station was built in 1863 for the Midland Railway. History
Situated on Station Road, it opened on 1 June 1863 and replaced an earlier station in Long Eaton of 1847 which by that time was known as Toton which was on Nottingham Road on the Erewash Valley Line. The last train ran on 31 December 1966. On Monday 2 January 1967, C.G. Browne, chief librarian and curator at Long Eaton purchased two tickets for the local history collection at the library. These tickets were the last to be issued at the station even though there was no train service they could be used on. This station closed on 2 January 1967 and Sawley Junction was then renamed Long Eaton. Stationmasters
