==History==▼
▲{{Lancashire, Derbyshire & East Coast Railway}}
The station was opened by the [[Lancashire, Derbyshire and East Coast Railway|LD&ECR]] in March 1897 andas plain "Bolsover". It was closed to all traffic by [[British Railways]] in December 1951, primarily due to the prohibitive cost of repairing and maintaining [[Bolsover Tunnel]].<ref>[http://www.forgottenrelics.co.uk/tunnels/bolsover.html Bolsover Tunnel via ''Forgotten Relics'']</ref> Track lifting started immediately after closure and was completed within weeks, though the station building survived as an increasingly vandalised eyesore for some years. The photograph opposite shows the characteristic Station Master's house in 1963, the station itself was behind the bush on the extreme right of the photo. Also behind the photo to the left was a railway-served jam factory.{{sfn|Booth|2013|p=22}}▼
 
The station was built in [[Carr Vale]] and was one of theonly fewtwo places on the LD&ECR where a [[level crossing]] was necessary,<ref>[http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;DCBR000064&pos=14&action=zoom&id=4580 Bolsover South level crossing via ''Picture the Past'']</ref> the other being [[Skellingthorpe railway station|Skellingthorpe]].{{sfn|Cupit|Taylor|1984|page=16}}{{sfn|Haigh|1994|p=102}} To the west was [[Doe Lea Viaduct]] and to the east was a {{convert|300|ft|m|adj=mid|-high}} [[limestone]] ridge through which it was necessary to drive the notorious Bolsover Tunnel. To the east of this was the next station at [[Scarcliffe railway station|Scarcliffe]].▼

The station architecture was in the company's characteristic modular style{{sfn|DVD|2005|loc=31 to 32 minutes from the start}}{{sfn|Booth|2013|pp=21-22}} with much glazing{{sfn|anon.|2011|pp=44-5}} as were, for example, [[Arkwright Town railway station|Arkwright Town]], [[Edwinstowe railway station|Edwinstowe]] and [[Ollerton railway station|Ollerton]].

1912 was a notable year for Bolsover South, with flash floods on 27 July{{sfn|Haigh|1985|p=11}}{{sfn|Haigh|1994|p=96}} and 26 August.{{sfn|Haigh|1994|p=104}}<ref>[http://www.oldminer.co.uk/Carr%20Vale/Carr%20Vale%20Station%20House_files/Bolsover%20South%20or%20Carr%20Vale%20Station.htm Bolsover South & Carr Vale History via ''Old Miner''] {{webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20130616010434/http://www.oldminer.co.uk/Carr%20Vale/Carr%20Vale%20Station%20House_files/Bolsover%20South%20or%20Carr%20Vale%20Station.htm |date=16 June 2013 }}</ref>
