The preserved Churnet Valley Railway operates steam and diesel (sometimes both!) locomotives to haul trains between Kingsley and Froghall Station to Cheddleton, and sometimes beyond to Ipstones. https://www.churnet-valley-railway.co.uk/ Here at Leekbrook Junction, passengers have not been allowed to leave the train, but the construction of this platform may herald a change in the facities for 2016. Some trains did for a while go ahead to Caldon Low, but more recently on one month weekend in four, trains have stopped at Ipstones, then returned.
