Darley Dale station shortly after closure of the line. Note the footbridge and the tall up starter signal post, necessary to ensure the signal was visible above the bridge.

Darley Dale station from the same viewpoint in 2009. The footbridge survives, albeit in poor condition, and Peak Rail are raising funds to restore it and reinstate it to its original location. This will entail dismantling the signalbox, which is planned anyway.
