Bamford railway station serves the village ofBamford in theDerbyshirePeak District, inEngland and is managed byNorthern Trains. It is located 13 miles (21 km) west ofSheffield on theHope Valley Line.
Bamfordstation was built by theDore and Chinley Railway, a company which was absorbed by theMidland Railway prior to opening. The line was opened for goods traffic on 6 November 1893, and for passenger trains on 1 June 1894, but Bamford station was not opened until 25 June that year.[1][2]
The Dore and Chinley line later became known as theHope Valley Line. The station became an unstaffed halt in 1969 when the last station master purchased the Station House. The main station building was located on the road overbridge, and was removed during the late 1970s.
The station is unstaffed as noted, but Northern has installed ticket vending machines here to allow intending travellers to buy tickets before boarding. Standard waiting shelters are provided on each platform, whilst train running details are offered via help points, automatic announcements and timetable posters. Step-free access is available to both platforms (the eastbound one via a ramp from Station Road).[3]
The typical service is one train per hour in each direction betweenSheffield andManchester Piccadilly; these stopping services are operated byNorthern Trains. Trains to Sheffield take around 22 minutes and trains to Manchester Piccadilly take around 53 minutes.[4]
Additionally,East Midlands Railway operate a limited number of express trains that stop at Bamford in the morning and early evening, giving the station direct links to and fromLiverpool Lime Street andNottingham.[5]
