History

It was opened as Breaston in 1839 for the Midland Counties Railway, which shortly joined the North Midland Railway and the Birmingham and Derby Junction Railway to form the Midland Railway.

The third station from Nottingham was soon named Sawley to prevent confusion with Beeston.

It was far from both settlements, and when Draycott was opened in 1852 and, particularly, Sawley Junction in 1888, it became superfluous and was closed in 1930.

The line is now part of the Midland Main Line between Long Eaton and Derby.
