Buxton railway station is a railway station that serves the town of Buxton in Derbyshire . It is managed and served by Northern Rail . Two railways arrived in Buxton almost simultaneously in 1863 . The Stockport, Disley and Whaley Bridge Railway, heavily promoted by the LNWR , built its line from Manchester to Whaley Bridge and extended it to Buxton . Meanwhile the Midland Railway extended the Manchester, Buxton, Matlock And Midlands Junction Railway from Rowsley . When the Midland extended its main line to New Mills in 1867 , to bypass the LNWR, Buxton became a branch line from Millers Dale . The stations were side by side, with identical frontages designed by Joseph Paxton , each having a wrought iron glazed trainshed. The Midland station closed in 1967 , along with the line to Rowsley, and the site is now a roadway. The LNWR station now handles local trains into Manchester, using its line through Dove Holes and Chapel-en-le-Frith . REFERENCE
