Ive two questions. Thanks in advance for any info.
1. Intermediate station between Peartree and Derby Midland?
Just wondering if there was ever an intermediate station between Peartree and Derby Midland?
Glancing towards Peartree from the A514 Osmaston Road overbridge a platform seems to exist on the right hand side. Perhaps an erstwhile workers platform?
2. Sinfin Central: I note that Wikipedia refers to a 360yard public path to Sinfin Central which is stated to be still in situ. Am wondering: (a) is this path still accessible to the public such that one could walk from Wilmore Rd. to the station; (b) whereabouts on Wilmore Rd. this path begins. Presumably the station site is to the west of Wilmore Rd. (c) have any railtours traversed the Sinfin branch since its closure to passenger trains?
Interestingly Google Street View shows a disused track traversing the south eastern section of Wilmore Road (image date is Sept 2008 though). There is a grassy path running roughly north-westwards not far from this disused line, possibly the path to the station.
