The Midland Railway – Butterley lies on the Ambergate to Pye Bridge line of
the old Midland Railway, although the present-day heritage line terminates at
Hammersmith near Ripley in Derbyshire. It is operated by the Midland Railway
Trust.
The railway is also home to the
Golden Valley Light Railway: a narrow-gauge
line built on the trackbed of a former ironworks railway.
The line currently runs for 3½ miles
(5.6 km) from Hammersmith via Butterley, Swanwick Junction and Riddings to
Ironville.
