Funny you should say that because on thursday I walked the whole MOnsal trail and visited Peak rail, although I did not use the train. As far as I can make out they want to extend from the Northwood terminus into Rowsley. It Rousley south should have northwood included in the name but that smy opinion. Bakewell is the next stop after that but I think they'll take it from there. They still own a good portion of land for a grand terminus at Buxton, so I would presume that yes they do. If a welsh highland like phenomenon could ever happen I think viable yes. Millersdale station, the grand five platform affair in the middle of nowhere is stunningly pretty much complete. If they started from Buxton at the same time, they could use existing freight line and then have the few miles left to millersdale. What they have is pressure from two sides. Forgive the term but a pincer movement extension is a much stronger case than a simple forward pushing one. Of they could do it, it would be without doubt the greatest heritage railway ever, end of story.
