Hadfield, Derbyshire

The Woodhead Route holds a special interest for me, yet I never knew it whilst it was operational. Alongside the Waverley Route and the Somerset & Dorset, the Woodhead Route is one the country's greatest railway losses. Hadfield remains though, an awkward junction for the terminus of the branch to Glossop. The former mainline now ends here and the Glossop trains reverse to head down the branch.
