Chesterfield once had two other railway stations:
* [[Chesterfield Market Place railway station|Chesterfield Market Place]] had been the terminus of the Chesterfield–Lincoln line. It was built in 1897 by the [[Lancashire, Derbyshire and East Coast Railway]] (LD&ECR); it closed in 1951, due to the prohibitive cost of maintaining [[Bolsover Tunnel]] and the nearby [[Doe Lea Viaduct]], which were both affected by mining subsidence. No original buildings remain. The site is now owned by the Post Office.
* [[Chesterfield Central railway station|Chesterfield Central]] closed in 1963, in conjunction with a general wind-down of passenger train activity on the [[Great Central Railway]] (GCR). Chesterfield's inner relief road, part of the A61, now runs along some of the disused track bed. The station was demolished in 1973. Part of the railway tunnel under the town still exists off Dixon's Road, the northern entrance has been sealed off.

The railways crossed each other at [[Horns Bridge]], the Midland Main Line passing over the GCR loop into Chesterfield and the LD&ECR passing both on a {{convert|700|ft|m}} viaduct. Horns Bridge has been redeveloped since the last two railways closed. Horns Bridge roundabout on the A61 Derby Road and A617 Lordsmill Street now occupies the site. The viaduct was demolished in the 1970s.

[[Chesterfield tramway]] system was built in 1882 and closed in 1927.
