Tickets to Wirksworth, Idridgehay and (from September) Shottle have been added by EMT and fares have been set up from just under 50 EMT stations, including St.Pancras.
The map below (produced for us by
RailRoute) shows stations where one can buy a ticket easily to stations on the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway:
However, it is possible to buy a ticket from anywhere but the person in the ticket office has to build-up the fare. Certainly, we have had travellers on through tickets from locations as far apart as Southampton and Preston.
One very good site which allows you to look-up fares to Wirksworth is the
BR Fares website. Well worth a look, although for some strange reason, St. Pancras fares are not shown.
Finally, we shall shortly be running a campaign to raise awareness of through tickets to the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway. Our services connect with EMT's Nottingham & Derby to Matlock service and we are keen to promote our line as a 'real' connecting railway, not just a joy ride.
Kind regards,
