Whatstandwell railway station is a railway station owned by Network Rail and managed by East Midlands Trains (EMT) Train operating company (TOC). It serves the villages of Whatstandwell and Crich Carr in Derbyshire, England. The station is located on the Derwent Valley Line from Derby to Matlock.

There is a ticketing machine on the single platform, or a full range of tickets for travel for any destination in the country may be purchased from the guard on the train at no extra cost.

History

Opened by the Manchester, Buxton, Matlock and Midlands Junction Railway in 1849, though it was not listed in the timetable until 1853. The first station was "Watstandwell Bridge" (sic) north of the {{convert|149|yd|sing=on}} Whatstandwell Tunnel, behind the Derwent Hotel. The original platform still exists, though the area was used as a goods yard when the present station was opened in 1894. It then became "Whatstandwell".

A little way north was High Peak Junction at the base of the former rope-worked incline of the Cromford and High Peak Railway.

Today

The station is served by East Midlands Trains Local, who operate the service from Nottingham to Matlock (via Derby). For journeys beginning at Whatstandwell, tickets may be bought from the machine on the platform or on the train for any destination in the country. (From Derby, tickets must be bought at the ticket office) Journey time to Derby is approximately 24 minutes. Services are approximately hourly except on Sundays (roughly two-hourly). Trains on the Derwent Valley line were replaced by a bus service for several weeks in late summer of 2018. This was due to essentail works being carried out on the approach to Derby station.

The footbridge at the station leads to the Cromford Canal towpath and to a bridge over the canal to Main Road and the village.

At team of volunteers from the village helps to maintain the station and car park.
