Railways of Derbyshire in the Twenty-First Century Summary

Railways of Derbyshire in the Twenty-First Century by John Jackson

The city of Derby has a long association with the country's railway heritage, not just as a focal point for the county's railway passengers but also its long tradition of manufacture. Today, Derby enjoys passenger services to destinations as far apart as London, Scotland and the South West of England. But the county of Derbyshire offers so much more. With towns such as Chesterfield and Buxton, as well as some tiny rural communities, it is still well served by passenger trains. Looking at freight traffic, the days of constant streams of coal trains passing may have long gone, but there's still plenty on offer to the enthusiast. In particular, the county's hills are a source of important materials for the UK construction industry. The railways of Derbyshire continue to play a leading role in getting these materials to market with a network of regular deliveries to the end customer. This book takes a whistle stop tour of the county's stations, looking at both the passenger and freight trains seen since the turn of the century.

'Having spent a significant chunk of my list in Derbyshire, this title instantly appealed.' -- Model Rail Magazine, August 2023

About John Jackson

John Jackson, a lifelong transport enthusiast, opted for early retirement at the turn of the Millennium - and swapped the rat race for the rail tracks. Since then, he has travelled extensively on the British rail network with his camera as a constant companion. He continues to compile a photographic collection reflecting the UK rail industry that already extends to tens of thousands of images. He also has an interest in the history of his local county of Bedfordshire and John and his wife Jenny, together with their trusty cameras, have spent hundreds of hours meandering around their home county visiting each one of the parishes in the county, recording the churches.
