Trains at: Dore & Totley, HVL/MML, 30/08/25

A lovely session spent at the very charming station of Dore & Totley on the Hope Valley Line and Midland Mainline where we see plenty of services from East Midlands Railway, Northern, Transpennine Express and Cross Country. The station was opened in February 1872 by the Midland Railway, this was 2 years after the Midland Mainline extention was opened from Chesterfield to Sheffield. in 1894 the station became a junction for the new Dore and Chinley Line which is now the Hope Valley Line. The junction was at the southern end of the station and the signal box was situated in between the angle of the Chesterfield and Chinley line. Between 1901 and 1902, the line between Sheffield station and Dore was widened; the original twin tracks continued to be used by traffic for the Dore and Chinley line and two new tracks were built to the east of this for traffic on the main line to Chesterfield. The original southbound platform was converted to an island platform and a new platform for trains to Chesterfield built to the east. The line from Chesterfield was slewed into its present course to serve the new platforms. A new Dore Station Junction was made to the north of the station. On 9 October 1907, a Sheffield to Birmingham and Bristol express train ran foul of the points at the station. One of the locomotives hit the platform and overturned. The driver and the second man were thrown from the cab but survived, and the passenger coaches fortunately stayed upright with no passengers injured. Dore and Totley became south Sheffield's only remaining station after the Beeching cuts in the 1960s saw Beauchief, Millhouses and Heeley stations all close. The station was closed to main line traffic and became an unstaffed halt in 1969. It was renamed Dore on 18 March 1971. Subsequently, the island and eastern platforms were demolished in the mid-1980s. This meant that mainline services from the South could no longer stop at the station. In March 1985, the section of the Hope Valley Line through the station was converted to single-track, with trains in both directions stopping at the one remaining platform. The station was renamed to Dore & Totley in April 2008 in conjunction with Northern putting new branded running boards on the platform. From then to now there was a lot of work spoken of to get the second track reinstated and a new platform built. But these plans were getting delayed continuously. Eventually the new platform and track were officially opened in April 2024. My next station will be Dronfield.
