Mickleover station, Derby Mickleover station, now a private residence, was on the former Great Northern Railway between Derby and Burton upon Trent. After the line closed in 1968 the BR Research Division used the section between Mickleover and Egginton Junction as a test track. This closed in July 1990. Today the five miles between Mackworth in Derby and Etwall (with a diversion to avoid Mickleover tunnel) is a cyclepath, part of NCN54.
