wirksworths_railway

The Ecclesbourne Valley Railway Association is working in partnership with WyvernRail to reopen the Duffield to Wirksworth railway in the heart of Derbyshire, England. The line passes through the beautiful Ecclesbourne Valley to the award winning and beautifully restored town of Wirksworth, nestling at the foothills of the Peak District. The line is a time capsule, with its intermediate stations intact and the layout at Wirksworth unchanged since the days of steam. We have 8½ miles of single-track railway (largely still intact) which joins the Midland Main Line at Duffield.   There are five station sites, two level crossings, a yard with extensive sidings and a mineral branch to the old Middlepeak quarry at Wirksworth.   We hope to link the mineral line to the National Stone Centre and the High Peak Trail. Join us to bring the railway back from a decade of slumber and return passenger trains to this unspoilt branch line of the old Midland Railway.
