History

Originally located on the Midland Railway's Ambergate to Pye Bridge Line, the station opened on 1 May 1875 as Butterley, being renamed Butterley for Ripley and Swanwick on 29 July 1935.{{sfn|Butt|1995|p=50}} It closed to passengers on 16 June 1947,{{sfn|Butt|1995|p=50}} but remained open for goods traffic until 7 November 1964.{{sfn|Clinker|1978|p=23}} The line itself closed in 1968.{{citation needed|date=September 2010}} British Railways demolished the original station buildings and signal box.{{citation needed|date=September 2010}}

Midland Railway Trust

The station was reopened by the Midland Railway Trust on 22 August 1981{{sfn|Butt|1995|p=50}}{{sfn|Croughton|Kidner|Young|1982|p=54}} Volunteers have restored the station site, rebuilding the station buildings from Whitwell railway station (in addition, there are some Portakabins). The signal box comes from Ais Gill, on the famous Settle-Carlisle Line and is a standard Midland type 2B box. The station originally had two platforms but the present only the southernmost platform (i.e. the original westbound line) is in use to the public.

Swanwick Junction railway station is a short walk or train ride away to the east. Hammersmith railway station is a shorter distance to the west over Butterley Reservoir by train, though the walking distance is longer as one has to walk around the reservoir.

There is parking available at this station.
