Anston railway station was situated on the Great Central and Midland Joint Railway line between the villages of North Anston and South Anston near Rotherham and Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. Passenger services on the line, which came under the control of the South Yorkshire Joint Committee began on 7 December 1910 and were jointly operated by the Great Central Railway and the Great Northern Railway.

This service was extended to Worksop in 1920 in an attempt to increase passenger revenues.

Dinnington Main Colliery was a coal mine situated in the village of Dinnington, near Rotherham, South Yorkshire, England. Until the coming of the colliery Dinnington was a mainly agricultural village with a small amount of quarrying in the area.In 1899 preparations were being made by the Sheffield Coal Company to sink a new colliery at Dinnington. The company did not have the resources to complete the work and entered into a partnership with the Sheepbridge Coal and Iron Co and this joint company, the Dinnington Main Colliery Company, came into being in 1900. The colliery commenced sinking in 1902 and reached the Barnsley seam of coal in the summer of 1904. The first coal was drawn to the surface the following year which is also when the mine gained its second shaft. Rail connection for the colliery was eventually made by the South Yorkshire Joint Railway (SYJR) when its line opened in January 1909. The SYJR was a five way joint line with connections to ports and towns in the area and beyond. At the time of the 1946 nationalisation of the coal industry the colliery was in the hands of Amalgamated Denaby Collieries, based at Denaby Main, near Doncaster. Following nationalisation the colliery became part of the National Coal Board. The colliery stopped production in October 1991, and was closed in 1992 with the loss of over 1,000 jobs. At the start of the 21st century, the former colliery site was subject to one of the largest former coal mine reclamation schemes that Yorkshire had seen. Johnston Press, a regional publisher and printer, sited a £60 million printing press on the site in 2006.Nearby St Leonard's Church in Dinnington, has a mining memorial commemorating the 74 miners who died whilst working at Dinnington Main, though the eventual tally of the dead is disputed by some researchers.

Kiveton Park railway station serves Kiveton Park in South Yorkshire, England. The original station was opened by the Sheffield and Lincolnshire Junction Railway in 1849, situated to the east of the level crossing and opened with the line. It was rebuilt in the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway "Double Pavilion" style in 1884, on the west side of the level crossing.Kiveton Park was a centre of lime working in the area, and many company sidings came under the jurisdiction of its Station Master. Adjacent to the station was the Dog Kennels Lime and Stone Works, named after the road linking the station to Anston, and the Kiveton Park Lime and Stone Works. Just to the east were the Kiveton Park and Anston lime quarries. All the companies had lime burning facilities and agricultural lime was supplied, by rail, to outlets in Lincolnshire. Kiveton Park Colliery was located to the west of the station, and was rail-connected until its closure in 1994. Along with neighbouring Kiveton Bridge station, it was completely rebuilt during the early 1990s with modern platforms, lighting and waiting shelters, this work being funded by the South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive. The only remaining part of the 1884 station is the Station Master's house (now privately owned) which stands on the Sheffield-bound (down) platform. It is now unstaffed (all tickets must be purchased on the train or prior to travel), with train running details provided by display screens, telephone and timetable poster boards. Step-free access is available to both platforms from the adjacent level crossing (which is still operated from the adjacent signal box).Severe damage was caused to the embankment and tracks near here during the widespread flooding in 2007. Repairs cost over £1 million, and the line was closed for several weeks whilst the embankment was rebuilt and the tracks relaid.
