What is the total length of the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway, Wirksworth, England from Ravenstor to Duffield?

Question

The Ecclesbourne Valley Railway runs from Ravenstor, through Wirksworth, Idridgehay, Shottle Hazelwood and terminates at Duffield on the National Network.

Answer 1

Using my reprint of the July 1922 'Bradshaw'. I find the total distance from Derby to Wirksworth to be 13 & 3/4 miles, whilst Duffield is 5 and 1/4 miles from Derby which give 8.5 as the mileage Duffield to Wirksworth. Beyond Wirksworth their were lines serving a few quarries but no extension of the railway, so I'm not sure of your reference to Ravenstor. There was an incline to the Cromford & High Peak Line - is that what you refer to? That, however, doesn't appear to be part of the heritage railway proposals. For further details, maps etc see link.

( Iknow that your query has nothing to do with Harry Potter - the station for Hogwarts is Goathland on the NYMR and the train is filmed on the Mallaig line, usually on Glenfinnan viaduct)

Answer 2

Is this a Harry Potter trivia question?
