Trains to Chapel-En-Le-Frith - Station Details and further Information on Chapel-En-Le-Frith Train Services
Chapel-en-le-Frith train station (formerly Chapel-en-le-Frith South) serves the town of Chapel-en-le-Frith, Derbyshire, England. It is 20½ miles south east of Manchester Piccadilly on the Buxton Line from Manchester. It was built in 1863 for the LNWR on its line from Whaley Bridge to Buxton.
There is generally an hourly service each day to Manchester Piccadilly northbound (The only exception being the 15:58 (Monday-Friday) which terminates at Hazel Grove). Besides this, Three trains per day continuing to Blackpool North), whilst all Southbound services continue to Buxton. During peak hours the service is roughly half hourly.
In 1867, the Midland Railway built a station (known as Chapel-en-le-Frith Central) on the Sheffield and Midland Railway Companies' Committee line from Millers Dale to Chinley. The town therefore had a main line connection from Manchester to London featuring expresses such as the 'Palatine' and the 'Peaks'. However, with the closure of the ex Midland route from Chinley to Buxton to passenger traffic in 1967, Central station was closed. The Midland line is still in situ and used for freight to and from Peak Forest.
The station is one of very few to retain its walkway to cross between platforms, most stations having had footbridges installed. |
