History
The station was situated on the North Midland Railway's line between Rotherham Masborough and Chesterfield, widely known as "The Old Road". This line, which remains well used by freight, follows the Rother Valley. Treeton was a coal-mining village, though Treeton Colliery closed in 1990.
The original Treeton station opened on 6 April 1841 but closed the following year. A new station, on the same site, was opened on 1 October 1884 and closed on 29 October 1951, although it was used for a small number of excursion trains after that date.
The line here consisted of four tracks. The platforms served the centre two with access by steps from the adjacent road bridge. The goods lines were routed to the rear of the platforms in an arrangement similar to that at Brightside in Sheffield.
The station was located between Rotherham Masborough and Woodhouse Mill.
The stationmaster's house was situated at 8, Station Road, opposite the Station Hotel.
