You can't really be a rail enthusiast, especially if you are Midlands based, and not be familiar with
Derby railway station. I go quite a lot (indeed i went last week).
This book covers the Midland Main Line between Derby and Chesterfield (of twisty church spire fame) in the usual Middleton Press style crafted by Vic Mitchell and Keith Smith.
A history and map of each station along the line (some stations having now been closed) is presented along with a number of images, historical and (fairly) modern day, showing how the stations have evolved and what kind of trains you might see at them.
The book covers Duffield, Belper and Ambergate along the way which are all still open and stations i am very familiar with and it was nice to learn more about the stations' histories. Another interesting Middleton Press volume.
