Ambiguity
There have been three separate stations with "Shirebrook" in their names:
- Shirebrook North which is the subject of this article
- Shirebrook South, and
- Shirebrook station which is on the Robin Hood Line.
Shirebrook South and Shirebrook North have been closed for many years. Shirebrook West closed in 1964 but reopened in 1998 as plain "Shirebrook". Shirebrook West was actually on the eastern edge of the village.
