• Hourly Nottingham to Matlock train service to be re-instated from 22 May 2023.
• Trains each hour on Weekdays and Saturdays to complement existing Nottingham to Matlock Sunday service.
• Reduced journey time throughout the day between Derwent Valley communities and Nottingham.
• Off-Peak trains from Spondon to Nottingham, Derby and Matlock.
• Fantastic boost for the summer tourism season.
EMR will be re-introducing a full Nottingham to Matlock train service from 22 May 2023. This will see the return of trains to Nottingham each hour on weekdays and Saturdays, to complement the existing Nottingham to Matlock Sunday service. These trains will also call at Beeston and Long Eaton with alternate services calling at Attenborough and Spondon to assist train punctuality.
Thank you to everyone who over the last 2 years have helped to raise the importance of the service from Nottingham including writing to your MP, attending public meetings and signing the petition to show the strong support for the Derwent Valley Line service between Nottingham and Matlock.
In order to provide a robust level of service for passengers and alleviate concerns with performance, services will call at Attenborough and Spondon in alternate hours. With every train continuing to call at these stations in the peak hour services. This will remove the need for rail replacement services for Spondon.
