Signalling diagram errors
Although I have no personal knowledge of this railway, there seems to be a number of obvious inaccuracies on the signalling diagram included in the article:


 * The semaphore arms of signal CL6 are projecting on the wrong side of the post
 * The L.O.S. is facing the wrong way
 * Signal CL14 is bracketed away from line instead of towards it
 * Signal DD7 is bracketed away from line instead of towards it

Could someone with reliable knowledge of the signalling on this railway please confirm the correct situation. – Signal head   &lt; T &gt;  14:03, 18 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I am creating a new track diagram, smae size as the old one, but problems fixed. manadude2 (talk) 21:35, 19 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks; that's corrected some of the errors but CL6 and DD7 are still wrong, I reckon. – Signal head   &lt; T &gt;  22:35, 19 January 2009 (UTC)


 * After spending about 5 months at the railway, and worked in both signalboxes, I can assure you the signals on this diagram are as accurate as possible to the real thing, but due to space and some problems encountered during production, the diagram may not be 100% accurate, which is something you can expect. If you want to have a bash at creating a diagram that IS 100% accurate, be my guest, but it is impossible to be completely accurate. Please be aware that there is no offencive thoughts in this message. manadude2 (talk) 00:09, 20 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I've created my own version of the diagram and included it in the article. – Signal head   &lt; T &gt;  22:05, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Proper Grammar
Please use correct grammar. I have noticed commas with no spaces, and name uncapitalised. I have added the tag. Thanks manadude2 (talk) 21:09, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

I would reccomend that the 'future' and 'extensions' sections be merged, and second the grammatical condemnation of the entirety. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaconway88 (talk • contribs) 05:20, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

buxton mineral water
I'm sure the publications i'm sure at the time said this was leased and gave the impression (though they didn't explicitly say) that the railway was still interested in the land long term (after all they do aim to link to buxton eventually) Plugwash (talk) 01:44, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Level Crossings
The article suggests that the two level crossings were the only ones on the old Mdland Line from Manchester to London but there was, and is, at least one other at Sawley, and there was another at Cossington 86.141.118.161 (talk) 14:08, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Platforms
To be pedantic the down platforms were number 1. So if the presently unused platform was reopened by Peak Rail should it ought be Platform 1 with the other being renumbered? Chevin (talk) 17:47, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Regardless of any historical numbering peak rail seem to have accepted the number 2 for thier platform at matlock though IIRC they aren't displaying the number on the platform. Plugwash (talk) 15:50, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Copyedit
This section: (First preservation attempts with the Buxton Steam Centre) was so incredibly confusing that I could not understand it, much less copyedit it. I'll copyedit the rest of the article, but I was not able to touch that section beyond leaving a tag. Aaron north  (T/C) 02:03, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

I have finished my copyedit. I did what I could, but this article needs help. One of the most basic problems is that this is written like some sort of current event, to-be-updated, news-ish story. This is not written like an encyclopia entry, and of course hasn't been constantly updated. Parts of it should be re-done to minimize anticipation of what is about to come next tomorrow, next week, next year, etc. State the history, state the current features of the rail, put in a section on future plans, all in a professional encyclopedic tone, update when necessary, and the article would be much improved.

I have copyedited the First preservation attempts with the Buxton Steam Centre section. Hopefully this makes more sense now. Osarius : T : C : Been CSD'd? 15:06, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Images
There are too many images cluttering up the article. I will take the time to organise them into a gallery. Perhaps a few of you could help out on this task? Cheers. Osarius : T : C : Been CSD'd? 22:01, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
