Killamarsh West was a railway station in Halfway, South Yorkshire, England; it was one of three stations that served the village of Killamarsh in Derbyshire.
Three stations served the village, all of which were originally namedÃÂ KillamarshÃÂ upon their opening:
A station was opened on the site by the North Midland Railway on its line between and Rotherham, which became known as the Old Road. It was closed in 1843 by George Hudson during a period of financial difficulty.
A new station was built by the Midland Railway in 1873. Although it was commonly known as Killamarsh Midland locally, the name was not officially adopted. It was renamed Killamarsh West by British Railways in 1950.
It was of typical Midland design, brick built and timber, with a foot crossing between the platforms.
The station closed in 1954. The line is now part of the current Midland Main Line. It is used predominantly for freight, with a handful of passenger trains taking longer route from Chesterfield to , via the Old Road and largely to retain staff route knowledge in case of diversions.
In 1922, passenger services calling at Killamarsh West were at their most intensive, with trains serving three destinations via three overlapping routes:
In 2024, a previously approved plan to reopen the station as part of the Barrow Hill line was put on hold, following a government spending review. These plans were revived in 2025 under the South Yorkshire People's Network project, with Killamarsh expected to be a calling point on a tram-train extension of the South Yorkshire Supertram network between Sheffield and Chesterfield via Barrow Hill.
There are virtually no remains of the station today, other than a large space beside the railway line where the platforms once occupied. The site is inaccessible as the line remains open to through traffic.
