The stations between Shirebrook and Whitwell (inclusive) are in the county of [[Derbyshire]]. Passenger services are operated by [[East Midlands Railway]]. The line in its present form opened to passengers in stages between 1993 and 1998. Following the [[Beeching cuts]] of the 1960s, the line had been freight-only. The cuts had left Mansfield as one of the largest towns in Britain without a railway station.
