Steaming In

The High Peak Explorer Roars Through Woodsmoor Station

As one of the newest on the network Woodsmoor Station didn't see large steam locomotives stop to pick up passengers during the golden age of steam travel

That's why it's so great that occasionally we can see what it might have been like if that had been the case. So when a steam-based leisure service whizzes through Woodsmoor Station it's always to the delight of residents.

Saturday 17th March 2018 was just such a day. The High Peak Explorer roared through our station. Resplendent in black with classic Pullman carriages in tow. All steam, smoke, hissing pistons and passengers travelling in style.

Just how it was in the good old days!

A marvellous thing to behold and happily caught on video for us all to enjoy again.
