History
Matlock Bath station from the car park, showing the characteristic "Swiss" styling

The station buildings are in unusual 'chalet' style, inspired by the romantic notion that the resort was England's Little Switzerland. A cable car runs up from near the station to the Heights of Abraham.
The station was closed on 6 March 1967, and reopened on 27 May 1972.[1]
In the year 1 April 2009 to 31 March 2010 journeys from the station had increased by 62.04%.[2]
