 Peak Rail
That is absolutley correct
They were sold the site of the goods shed, residual Midland Station
area after the Spring Gardens relief road construction, and the
abutments on the other side of Bridge Street so that they had
everything they needed for a spring board into Ashwood Dale
They sold all but room for a one platform halt to Buxton Sping Water
and moved lock stock and barrel to Matlock - no doubt a good move in
terms of concentrating resources, but it removed all visibility, and
therefore the possibility of being taken seriously at the nrth end of
their intended route. |
