13. Great Longstone railway station
Alice Boardman waiting for her train at Great Longstone railway station, September 1962. She was the only passenger using the station which closed in 1962. One train a day in each direction continued to stop to allow local resident Mrs Boardman, a hospital sister, to travel to work in Buxton. Mrs Boardman had her own key to the booking office and every night she telephoned the station master at Derby so that he could make arrangements for the train to stop.
