Heading for Matlock

A train from Nottingham just departing from Cromford Station and entering Willersley Tunnel. This was once the Midland Railway main line to Manchester but is now just a branch line to Matlock. How short-sighted it was to have truncated the line given the lack of capacity on the West Coast Main Line - the only surviving direct route from London to Manchester!
