History
Opened by the Midland Railway as Alfreton on 1 May 1862, the station was renamed Alfreton and South Normanton on 7 November 1891. It became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The line then passed on to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. The British Railways Board then closed the station on 2 January 1967.
When the station re-opened on 7 May 1973, it was given the name Alfreton and Mansfield Parkway, as the nearby town of Mansfield in Nottinghamshire did not have a railway station of its own (in fact, it was the largest town in Britain without one). Following the re-opening of the Robin Hood Line in 1995, Mansfield had its own station again, and Alfreton station reverted to its original name, however there are still some road signs showing the 'Parkway' name. Passenger usage figures seem not to have suffered due to the opening of a station in Mansfield itself.
