Wirksworth Carnival Weekend - May 2014 (Ecclesbourne Valley Railway)
Under Construction!
The Ecclesbourne Valley Railway is a community owned and locally-managed venture to reopen and operate the railway between Wirksworth and Duffield in Derbyshire.
EVR operate tourist passenger services between Wirksworth and Duffield (8.5 miles) and Ravenstor (½ mile up a 1 in 27 incline) using Diesel Multiple Units and steam trains on special days.
The section of
line between Idridgehay and Duffield opened in April 2011, a
culmination of 10 years hard work on the part of our dedicated
volunteer force.
