Haddon Tunnel
Built as a 'cut and cover' tunnel to hide passing trains from the Duke of Rutland, resident in Haddon Hall. 1050 yards long. Refuge sidings for slow trains were just outside the tunnel. The tunnel still exists today. Bakewell is the next station, and was nominally 'The Duke's Station'.
Bakewell
A major Peak District town, also famous for its tarts! The station buildings still survive, perched high above the town due to the alignment that the railway was forced to take. This station could be particularly busy, particularly on the famous Bakewell agricaultural show day. A camping coach also used to be sited at the station, this later saw service at Aberystwyth with the Vale of Rheidol Railway (Static use!) until the 1980s. Ridged canopies existed over the platforms, and a goods shed and cattle dock.
