The line was opened by the Lancashire, Derbyshire and East Coast Railway in March 1897. Scarcliffe was opened on 3 January the following year.
As originally planned, this was a highly ambitious scheme, as its name suggests, but only two sections were ever built: the main line between Chesterfield Market Place and Lincoln Central, together with a branch from Langwith Junction to join the Sheffield District Railway at Beighton, thereby finding its way to Sheffield Midland.
