Matlock railway station
Matlock railway station is a railway station serving the town of Matlock in Derbyshire, England. The station is the terminus of the Derwent Valley Line from Derby.
The route used to continue to Buxton, but this section was closed in 1968 as part of the Beeching cuts. Part of this route is now preserved as a heritage railway called the Peak Rail. At present, the heritage line operations terminate at nearby Matlock Riverside. However, there are plans to extend the line into Matlock station.
The station is served by Central Trains, who operated local services from Derby to Matlock. Services are formed using diesel multiple units of Classes 150, 153, 156, 158 or 170.
