As far as I can remember

Chesterfield has almost always been called "Town" that I can remember could be a reference to the Football club but locally we tend to go to town

now it tends to be called Chezvagas

Re the GCR yes it was a loop but it had a really nice mainline style station and it of course is now underneath the A61 not a parkway BUT the tunnel is still there preserved too
