Willington railway station (formerly known as Willington and Repton, Willington for Repton and Repton and Willington) serves the village of Willington in Derbyshire, England. The station is 6¼ miles (10 km) south-west of Derby on the Cross Country Route. The station is operated by East Midlands Railway but none of their services calls here. Only CrossCountry services call at the station.
The original station was opened in 1839 by the Birmingham and Derby Junction Railway on its original route from Derby to Hampton-in-Arden, meeting the London and Birmingham Railway for London.
The station was renamed Repton and Willington in 1855, with a notice on the platform: "Alight here for Repton School".[1][2] The station closed in 1968 as part of the Beeching Axe, before being reopened in 1994.
It was planned that both platforms will be extended by up to 16 metres by no later than 2012.[3]Template:Update inline
Services
All services are operated by CrossCountry. East Midlands Railway operate the station but none of their trains call here.[4] The present station was constructed in 1994. It was planned as part of the Ivanhoe line which would run through to Loughborough, but since 2024[update]Template:Dated maintenance category (articles)Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". this has yet to come to fruition.
During their franchise, East Midlands Trains ran a couple of semi-fast services from Template:Rws to Template:Rws. The last London service to call at Willington was on Saturday 13 September 2008. Passengers for London must now change at Template:Rws or Template:Rws for services to Template:Rws operated by Avanti West Coast and London North Western Railway or at Derby for the original East Midlands Railway services to London St Pancras.
Services operate several times each day in each direction northbound to Template:Stn via Derby and southbound to Template:Rws via Template:Rws, Template:Rws, Template:Rws and Template:Rws, running a primarily structured two-hourly service from around 07:00 to around 15:00. From 15:00, services operate three-hourly (one in each direction around 21:00 with the final service running northbound only towards Nottingham at 23:46). There is an hourly service towards Template:Stn during the morning peak.[5]
There is no Sunday service.
Despite being one stop down the line from Template:Rws, there is no direct connection between the two stations.
