Renishaw Central - Duckmanton_closure of GC Line Stage 1_S&T diagram
The GC main line totally closed from New Hucknall Sidings to Duckmanton North Jn wef Monday 5 September 1966, Duckmanton North Jn, Staveley South Jn and North Jn boxes closed and the line was singled from Duckmanton North Jn to Renishaw Central as a continuation of the Arkwright Colliery branch. The former Down line was used and a facing hand point (normally locked) installed in the Up Line to connect to the slued Down line for this. The Up line was also retained for a short period to serve Staveley Sidings.
Renishaw Central box was retained because there was still traffic for the Ironworks sidings.
This is the "GC line closure plan stage 1" S&T plan for that.
