Project 365 - Day 12 - April 12th 2010 - End of the tracks

Peak Rail (http://www.peakrail.co.uk/) operate a tourist steadm line from Rowsley via Darley Dale to Matlock Riverside Station using tracks that used to link Matlock to Buxton but which became unused after Dr. Beeching's reviews of the Rail network in the 1960s.
Before the recent Sainsbury's development in Cawdor Quarry the track continued on into the British Rail station at Matlock and there was hope that Peak Rail and Network Rail could come to an agreement to share the station at Matlock. Sadly this no lonhger appears to be a possibility.
