Grindleford railway station

Last updated

Facilities

The station is unstaffed and had no ticket provision until 2018, but operator Northern has now installed ticket vending machines here and made the intermediate stations between New Mills and Sheffield part of a penalty fare scheme. [5] Standard waiting shelters are provided on both platforms and train running information is offered via CIS displays, automated announcements, a pay phone and timetable posters. Step-free access is available for westbound trains only (platform 1), as the ramps to the bridge linking the platforms are steep and not suitable for wheelchairs. [6]

Service

The typical off-peak service from the station is one train per hour to Sheffield and one to Manchester Piccadilly. [7]

On Sundays there is a train every two hours in each direction for most of the year, but a near-hourly service operates from May to September.

Trains from Sheffield take around 15 minutes, and trains from Manchester Piccadilly take around one hour.

East Midlands Railway call here with the first service of the day to Manchester and also on the final return working. All other services are provided by Northern Trains.
