Clay Cross railway station was a railway station built by the North Midland Railway in 1840. It served the town of Clay Cross in Derbyshire, England. It was originally planned to have been built within the Clay Cross Tunnel, however it was clear that it would be impossible to ventilate it effectively, so instead it was built at the northern entrance - nearer to Tupton. The original station was the usual Francis Thompson Italianate design. The station was the site of a fatal accident on 19 May 1851 which left 2 people dead and 16 injured. The locomotive of a passenger train which left Derby at 9.05pm for Leeds suffered a broken pump-rod. The driver stopped near Clay Cross station to remove the broken part and the rear of his train was hit by a goods train and smashed into the last two carriages. At an inquest, the jury reached a verdict of manslaughter against the driver of the goods train, Samuel Stretton, but also condemned the railway company practice of allowing a goods train to follow a passenger train with a gap of only 5 minutes, the lack of a night signal man at Clay Cross, and the regular practice of allowing trains to stop at stations which were not intended in the timetable.The Erewash Valley line opened on 1 May 1862 and had its northernmost connection at Clay Cross.In 1877 the Midland Railway went out to tender for the rebuilding of the station. The alterations for the additional traffic resulting from the Erewash Valley Line were completed by January 1878. A link line from Clay Cross South Junction to Clay Cross North Junction comprised a double line each for goods and passenger traffic from the Sheffield junction at Tapton, north of Chesterfield, to the junction of the Erewash Valley branch south of Clay Cross. The station was rebuilt in the Midland Railway styles and the platforms were improved. An additional platform was added for the Erewash Valley trains. Three large platforms were opened, one outside the outer lines and a large on in the centre, connected by covered staircases and bridges so as to enable passengers to cross the line in safety. The station closed in 1967. There are no visible remains. However the goods shed still remains on the south side of the bridge. North of Clay Cross, there developed very busy coal sidings, particularly those serving the Avenue Coal Carbonisation Plant. A locomotive shed was built at Hasland in 1861 with at one time as many as sixty engines. In the 1960s it supported sixteen Garratt 2-6-0+0-6-2 locomotives used for the coal traffic from Yorkshire. The next station northwards was at Chesterfield.
