Lost Railway Towns: Ashbourne – The Derbyshire Line That Went Underground

Join me and Phil in this episode of Lost Railway Towns as we uncover the fascinating railway history of Ashbourne, Derbyshire – once a thriving town on the railway map, now without a line. In “Lost Railway Towns: Ashbourne – The Derbyshire Line That Went Underground” we explore what remains of Ashbourne’s rich railway heritage, including its two lost railway stations (North Staffordshire Railway and LNWR), disused structures, and the legacy of the line that once connected this historic market town to the wider network.

We walk along the former trackbed, now transformed into the much-loved Tissington Trail, and venture through the Ashbourne Tunnel, a remarkable piece of Victorian engineering that took trains right under the heart of the town. Today, it serves walkers and cyclists, but its echoes of steam and industry remain.

This film blends railway history, transport geography, and local heritage, perfect for anyone interested in Britain’s lost railways, industrial decline, or the transformation of disused lines into recreational trails.

Subscribe to follow my ongoing Lost Railway Towns series, where I visit towns and cities across the UK that lost their railways, uncovering forgotten stations, abandoned tunnels, and the impact of closure on communities.
