EspañolBUXTON RAILWAY STATION
:''This article refers to the railway station in Derbyshire. For the Bure Valley Railway Station in Norfolk See Buxton (Norfolk) railway station''
'Buxton railway station' is a railway station that serves the town of Buxton in Derbyshire. It is managed and served by Northern Rail. The station is 41 km (25¾ miles) south east of Manchester Piccadilly and is the terminus of the Buxton Line.
Two railways arrived in Buxton almost simultaneously in 1863. The Stockport, Disley and Whaley Bridge Railway, heavily promoted by the LNWR, built its line from Manchester to Whaley Bridge and extended it to Buxton. Meanwhile the Midland Railway extended the Manchester, Buxton, Matlock and Midlands Junction Railway from Rowsley. When the Midland extended its main line to New Mills in 1867, to bypass the LNWR, Buxton became a branch line from Millers Dale. The stations were side by side, with identical frontages designed by J. Smith with guidance from Joseph Paxton, each having a wrought iron glazed train shed.
The Midland station closed in 1967, along with the line to Rowsley, and the site is now a roadway. The LNWR station now handles local trains into Manchester, using its line through Dove Holes and Chapel-en-le-Frith.
There is generally an hourly service each day to Manchester Piccadilly and beyond (mostly to Blackpool North)
Platform 1 is usually used in early mornings by the first trains of the day which stable in the platform overnight.
It is also used around 6pm: on arrival trains are shunted into the platform so that 2 carriages can be detached from 4 car formations for overnight stabling. 2 car units are also shunted when not required to work any further services for the rest of the day.
