Peartree railway station

Last updated

Facilities

Access to the platforms is from Osmaston Park Road (part of the A5111 Derby ring road), which crosses the line immediately to the south of the station via locked gates which are opened for passengers who use the provided intercom. There are no station buildings or shelter, and the entrances were badly overgrown. In January 2007, the station was without signage denoting the location [10] and the platforms were in an exceedingly poor state of repair, but by April 2009 it had been refurbished with new lighting and new signs installed. As the station is unstaffed and with no ticket vending machines, passengers must purchase the ticket on board; the full range of tickets for travel are purchased from the guard on the train at no extra cost.

Services

All services at Peartree are operated by East Midlands Railway.

The station is currently served by two trains per weekday towards Crewe and three trains towards Newark Castle via Derby and Nottingham as well as two trains per day in each direction on Saturdays. There is no Sunday service at the station. [11]

CrossCountry services between Derby and Birmingham New Street pass through the station but do not stop. Some services do stop at Willington, the next station on the line.
