Stub of former Line[edit]

There is an error in the diagram.

The former line from Buxton went from the second station at Buxton to Millers Dale, while the former line to Matlock and Derby went from the line through Dove Holes Tunnel Chevin (talk) 09:33, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds very confusing enough there though — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mountainsinhere (talk • contribs) 22:42, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what you mean. Would you care to clarify? Britmax (talk) 23:08, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Line length[edit]

The line length is given here 19 miles, but the distance between Manchester Piccadilly station and Buxton railway station is 25 3⁄4 miles? --TennisOpa (Discussion) 22:31, 17. Sep. 2018 (CEST) —Preceding undated comment added 20:32, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@TennisOpa: As noted in the "Route" section, the line begins at Edgeley Junction. The 19 miles is measured from there; if you travel along the line from Manchester Piccadilly, you will see that the mileposts decrease from 1883⁄4 down to 1821⁄2 and then restart at 0, increasing to 19 just short of Buxton station. The actual measurements are: Manchester Picc 188 miles 70 chains (188.88 mi; 304.0 km) 182 miles 36 chains (182.45 mi; 293.6 km); Buxton 19 miles 9 chains (19.11 mi; 30.8 km) for a total of 25 miles 43 chains (25.54 mi; 41.1 km). --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:31, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
