I think that's East Midlands Trains operated station, not necessarily any others.

I'll ask at Woking on Saturday

Best wishes,

Right. Here we are.

They've made a real good start, though much work to do on the platform.

I notice they've used concrete sleepers rather than steel.

Latest Photos of Matlock Station

As promised a selection of photos to show progress at Matlock: Track into the Station and platform cleared.

I understand that the track will be tamped next and that the platform is to be raised to modern height.

Running round is going to be interesting!

Best wishes,

John H-T.
