A chap on Ebay is selling several professional photographs - some by W. Winters - of Derby Railway Training School. Not cheap but quite rare and you may wish...
Nick, Interesting picture. I would agree it's the Chapel-en-le-Frith area and having checked my diagrams, I believe that the 'curious' signal is the ...
I know it's just over the county boundary, but does anyone have any information about the above line which left the MR at Kegworth? I believe the line closed...
Hi Peter This line apparently served a gypsum mine shown on maps as either Kingston Mine or Crown Wood Quarry. If you look on old-maps.co.uk it appears on a...
Thanks Ralph. Can't get into the old maps site at the moment; it says their "map engine" is unavailable. I think Lord Belper owned the mines at Kingston. The...

What about Derby-Crewe-Carlisle-Carstairs-Edinburgh-York-Sheffield- Nottm. (No reversal necessary either!). Or thousands of other permutations. On a more...
Although taken to the extreme, I think Peter has had the same problem as me. There have been several ways of travelling between Derby and Nottingham without...
I certainly remember seeing trains on this line - and wagons in Kegworth Goods Yard. According to John Gough's Midland Chronology, the junction with Lord...
Everyone, To put this into context, I wrote that note concerning routes between Derby and Nottingham in a very much light-hearted way from the perspective of ...
Nice to hear from you as well Vince. I am not sure where you can reverse south of Trent nowadays. I would imagine it will depend on whether it is a pure...
