Matlock Bath railway station is a Grade II listed[1] railway station owned by Network Rail and managed by East Midlands Trains (EMT) Train operating company (TOC). It is located in the village of Matlock Bath in Derbyshire, England. The station is unmanned and is located on the Derwent Valley Line {{convert|16.25|mi|km}} north of Derby towards Matlock.

History

{{clear left}}

Opened by the Manchester, Buxton, Matlock and Midland Junction Railway on 4 June 1849,[2] the station is located in the centre of the village. The station buildings have an unusual 'chalet' style, inspired by the romantic notion at the time that the resort was England's Little Switzerland. The Heights of Abraham cable car runs up from near the station to the Heights of Abraham visitor attraction.

The station was closed on 6 March 1967, and reopened on 27 May 1972.[2]

In recent times the usage of the station has increased; for example in the year 1 April 2009 to 31 March 2010 journeys increased by 62%.[3]

Services

The station is served by East Midlands Trains Local, who operate the following service:

Monday to Saturday

Hourly service westbound to {{rws|Matlock}} without a stop and hourly eastbound to {{rws|Newark Castle}} via {{rws|Derby}} and {{rws|Nottingham}} calling at all intermediate stations. The first and last eastbound services terminate prematurely at {{rws|Nottingham}}.

Sundays

Two-hourly service westbound to {{rws|Matlock}} without a stop and two-hourly east bound to {{rws|Nottingham}} via {{rws|Derby}} calling at all intermediate stations.

Services are formed using diesel multiple units of Classes 153, 156 or 158.

Public safety issues

In October 2015 Network Rail released CCTV footage showing members of the public taking photographs on the main crossing over the tracks at the station. Network Rail issued a safety warning as a result and said the railways were not for taking photographs on and that trains can appear without warning. Network Rail said it was releasing the footage to highlight the dangerous practices, particularly involving children on the railway line.[4]
