Introduction
This is the second steam train DLC published for TSW. It gets us back to the 1960s when this route was still in operation. It is mostly derelict today not as a direct result of beeching cuts however. Today trains still run via Ambergate to Matlock and freight trains go via Chinley and Peak Forest to Buxton. Furthermore, a heritage train goes between Matlock and a new station south of the old Rowsley station. The rest of this route is abandoned and the tracks are lifted, the trackbed is now being used as a trail.
Keep in mind that trains are very infrequent. Beside Chinley, Millers Dale and Matlock, only a few trains call at the stations. In fact many trains from Chinley to Ambergate don’t call at any station along the route. You might get left stranded rather quickly. Maybe – with the help of this timetable – not as quick. All trains consist of Mk1 cars, pulled by a Jubilee class loco.

Conclusion
Some stations already closed earlier than 1967, like Monsal Dale (1961), Hassop (1942) and Great Longstone (1962). As a result, no trains in this DLC stop there, but the station remains are still visible. This especially includes stations signs of Monsal Dale. The Fowler 4F locomotive, which is the only newely introduced loco of this DLC doesn’t haul any passenger trains in revenue service.
While most trains call at Chinley, Millers Dale and Matlock, other passenger trains don’t call at any stations along this route. The timetables down below include the spawn times at the portal for these trains too. Keep in mind that invisible walls block off access to the portal so you can’t walk there. Peak Forest and Rowsley are only served in one direction and Buxton sees five departing but only one arriving train. This all gives the feel that the timetable is quite far from being complete.
