We commence our journey from Wirksworth - the heart of where it all began! Wirksworth is a large station at the northerly end of the line and the main base. Officially opened on the 9th October 2019 by the Lord Lieutenant of Derbyshire Willy Tucker, the new Museum and Association shop at Wirksworth features an interesting array of railway-related artefacts, information about the railway and interactive displays. The Association shop features heaps of both railway-related and other topic books for you to rummage through, as well as model railway items, DVDs and other gifts.

Example of three course set lunch, enjoyed during our journey.

Soup of the day with a fresh bread roll

Roast topside of Derbyshire beef, homemade Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables with a side of gravy

Cheesecake of the day with fresh cream

Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free option available (must be pre ordered prior to the day)
