Yes it is.

Many thanks for this. Does the old dive under still exist or has it all been filled in? Do you know what date it closed?

At one time the line also contained two junctions although everything had been plain lined by 1980 (apart from of course the power station which lasted a bit longer).

Hi everyone, As you depart Sheffield station heading south there is a siding that appears to end at a tunnel mouth. Can anyone confirm whether it is a tunnel mouth and if so where it led to? Thanks for reading this.

The Matlock branch is never used by electric traction.

A bottle of VB cost me the equivalent of £10 when I was working in Singapore eight years a go. Shocking.

Thanks very much for this. I used to watch them many years a go run up the Markham Colliery branch nose first and I always wondered whether there were any restrictions. That said I don't suppose the speed limit was much more than 20 mph! Thanks again.

Hi everyone, Are there speed restrictions placed on class 20s when not running cab first? Just curious that's all. Thanks for reading this.

Some friendly advice from a bloke in his mid 50s. If you're feeling homesick don't lock yourself in your room! Use Freshers Week to see what clubs / societies exist as this will help you make friends. If you're still missing home seek help from your university and register with a local GP...

That's not a journey that comes across as being particularly odd

In that case how come people are not driving to the station from places like Chellaston to catch the train?

Well over 30 years a go, when my wife and I still lived in England we bought our first house around a mile from the nearest village. The first time we walk into the village happens to be a freezing cold night and we're looking forward to a roaring fire and a couple of pints. We enter the pub to...

I'm not allowed to vote. The best of luck to all of you.

There were no coal fires in the waiting rooms when we visited this summer. That's not surprising given that the only member of staff at the station is the signalman!

Hi everyone, Just to be clear there are no rules, just type out your memories! I have two from my time in the UK. In the mid 1980s seeing Mallard after it had been rebuilt by a team led by Bob MeanIey. I only ever once saw it in steam and that was at York. I was so impressed with its sleek...

Yes that's the one. Brilliant stuff, thank you.

Yes that's the structure that I was referring to. Many thanks for this.

Without the aid of the picture (the size is just above 4MB) it's the open brick built structure at the Dent end of the island platform that I'm referring to.

Thanks for letting me know. I have an error message that says the uploaded file is too large?

Hi everyone, This summer we visited Garsdale station for the first time in 30 years and I'm wondering if anyone could tell me what this is. As a wild guess I'm wondering if it acted as a shelter for a brazier which heated a water column but it really is only a wild guess. Thanks for reading this.
