Buxton to Matlock Line

[Gizmogle]

Y'know what would be absolutely great?
Building a line between Buxton and Matlock and giving us a Buxton to Derby central service!
It was being considered but I haven't heard anything about it in ages, anyone know what's going on?

Or Banbury/Oxford - Milton Keynes Central via Buckingham! Then we could go to a real shopping centre! They have to have a go at that before your silly Buxton to Matlock! Lol!

No bet you any money they'll do Cardiff to Ebbw Vale first.

That'll be because they're already doing it...

Any new route will be in Wales or Scotland, almost guarenteed. Unless it links to London, then it will be considered. Anything else, forget about it.
