New Mills Newtown railway station serves theNewtown area ofNew Mills, inDerbyshire,England. It is located14+1⁄4 miles (22.9 km) south east ofManchester Piccadilly on theBuxton line. It also serves as an interchange with theHope Valley Line, withNew Mills Central being 15 minutes' walk away across theGoyt Valley.
The station was built in 1857 on theStockport, Disley and Whaley Bridge Railway line, which was extended by theLondon and North Western Railway in 1863 to connect with theCromford and High Peak Railway and run toBuxton.
New Mills Newtown had quite a substantial goods yard, including an elevated signal box of LNWR type 5/6 design, a large three-storey warehouse including basement, and a crane and wharf; these were all built by the LNWR. Recently, the last remaining evidence of this goods yard was demolished; these were the stables for what were meant to be the railway's horses, but ended up being used for many other horses in New Mills.
There is also a three-span wrought-iron footbridge that connects Redmoor to its other half; the end of which has steps leading down to the children's park on Chapel Street. This is built on five brick columns, which support a three-span bridge because one end is held by the steps and the other is supported by the Chalkers Snooker Club embankment. The others are in close alignment holding an otherwise flimsy thin iron bridge.
The station has retained a booking office, on platform 1, which is normally staffed from 06:40 to 13:10 on weekdays only. There are also two ticket machines on both platforms.
There are stone waiting shelters on both platforms, train running information on CIS boards and announcements. Step-free access is available to both platforms, which are also linked by the pedestrian footbridge.[1]
There is generally one train per hour betweenManchester Piccadilly andBuxton, viaStockport; trains run every two hours each way on Sundays.[2]
