When Alfreton station reopened on 7th May 1973, it was given the name Alfreton and Mansfield Parkway, as the nearby town of Mansfield in Nottinghamshire did not have a passenger service of its own, making it at the time one of the largest towns in Britain without such a service. Following the reopening of the Robin Hood Line in 1995, Mansfield station re-opened, so Alfreton station reverted to its original name.

Mansfield station used to have the suffix Town, to give a distinction between other stations in the town. The suffix is still carried at Grimsby Town station.

The platforms and the platform roofs of Inverness station have been extended several times, notably to 500 feet in 1876. This was the work of Murdoch Paterson (1826 – 1898), the chief engineer of the Highland Railway. He was the engineer involved in the construction of Tain station, which was opened on 1st June 1864.
