LNER B1 4-6-0 on turntable at Buxton during 1963 Rail Tour
View eastward, on northern edge of Buxton. The former London & North Western engine shed was to the left, beside the line to Manchester via Chapel-en-le-Frith. The Rail Tour, organised by the Railway Correspondence & Travel Society, was fascinating:- London St Pancras - Derby - Chaddesden Loop - Trent - Codnor Park - Butterley - Ambergate - Matlock - Buxton - Ashbourne - Uttoxeter - Tutbury - Burton-on-Trent - Ashby-de-la-Zouch - Coalville - Knighton South Junction, then back to St Pancras on the main line. But it was rather stressful and a great rush, as SR 'West Country' 34006 steamed badly, getting to Derby 80 minutes late and we had to skip a Works Visit. B1 61004 took over at Derby and hauled us all the complex way via Buston and back to Burton, where 34006 - which now felt a little better - took over again but had a struggle to get back to St Pancras, reached at 22.15 ('only' 40 minutes late).

Reaching Fairfield Common
As one leaves Buxton on the A6, heading for Stockport, at the top of the hill the town ends at the golf course and Fairfield Common. These buildings stand in a row in front of the church.

NEW
Buxton signalbox
The box controls the junction between the passenger lines out of the station, and the two single track freight branches that still serve nearby stone quarries. Buxton once had a surprisingly dense railway network for a town of its size, with two passenger stations and several freight lines. The box dates from 1894, refurbished 2004.
