Bamford railway station serves the village of Bamford in the Derbyshire Peak District, in England and is managed by Northern Trains. It is located 13 miles (21 km) west of Sheffield on the Hope Valley line.

History

Bamford station was built by the Dore and Chinley Railway, a company which was absorbed by the Midland Railway prior to opening. The line was opened for goods traffic on 6 November 1893, and for passenger trains on 1 June 1894, but Bamford station was not opened until 25 June that year.

The Dore and Chinley line later became known as the Hope Valley line. The station became an unstaffed halt in 1969 when the last station master purchased the Station House. The main station building was located on the road overbridge, and was removed during the late 1970s.

Facilities

The station is unstaffed as noted, but Northern has installed ticket vending machines here to allow intending travellers to buy tickets before boarding. Standard waiting shelters are provided on each platform, whilst train running details are offered via help points, automatic announcements and timetable posters. Step-free access is available to both platforms (the eastbound one via a ramp from Station Road).

Service

The typical service is one train per hour in each direction between Sheffield and Manchester Piccadilly; these stopping services are operated by Northern Trains. Trains to Sheffield take around 22 minutes and trains to Manchester Piccadilly take around 53 minutes.

Additionally, East Midlands Railway operate a limited number of express trains that stop at Bamford in the morning and early evening, giving the station direct links to and from Liverpool Lime Street and Nottingham.
