(2 mls) Peak Rail - Matlock Riverside to Rowsley South stations In 1968 the fabulous railway between Matlock and Buxton, an amazing feat of engineering and determination, was closed as part of the national short-sightedness inflicted by Earnest Marples under advice from Dr. Beeching. In 1975 a group of enthusiasts formed the Peak Rail Society. Now steam trains run between Matlock and Rowsley South mainly at weekends and Bank Holidays through the season. To find out more about the heritage of the former Midland Railway between Ambergate and Chinley, there is a superb book written by Bill Hudson called "Through Limestone Hills". It is available at the Peak Rail Shop beside Matlock Station and by post. See www.billhudsontransportbooks.co.uk for further information. |
