Peak Rail, Matlock (PEA):<br />
With the connection now complete between Peak Rail (PEA) and network metals at Matlock all<br />
services now terminate / start from Matlock. The former PEA terminus at Matlock Riverside is now out<br />
of use and bypassed. The top photo shows the trackwork from PEA into Matlock where PEA services<br />
use the refurbished platform 2 adjacent Sainsbury’s. Access is also possible via a footbridge from<br />
platform 1 with parking in the enlarged mainline car park (just visible on the extreme left). The bottom<br />
photo shows the ½ mile continuation of that trackwork under the new road bridge passing the former<br />
run round loop and buffer stop (on the left) associated with Riverside Halt, which is to the right off the<br />
photo. Services ran into Matlock on 1 st July for the first time since through services ceased in 1968.<br />
