This section of the former Midland Railway's main line to Manchester was closed to passengers in 1968 (the same year mainline steam came to an end) as a consequence of the Beeching cuts and the recent electrification of the West coast route from London Euston to Manchester.
For many years Peak Rail had planned to run trains into Matlock station, shared with the main line from Derby (the Derwent Valley Line).

Access to the station is via a public footpath from Matlock Town, the distance between the two being no more than a quarter mile.
The former operate a heritage steam service over some five miles of the one-time London, Midland and Scottish Railway route to the south, with an intermediate station at Darley Dale a halt at Matlock Riverside and (since 2nd July 2011) terminating at Matlock.
