Proposed Extension & (Future) Stations
There has been a proposal for Peak Rail to extend the line north to Rowsley village proper "to the site of Rowsley Station itself", and then to Bakewell railway station via a proposed Haddon Halt.
Now that the Peak Rail/Network Rail reconnection project is complete, work on extending via Rowsley and Haddon Halt towards Bakewell is likely to begin once finances allow.
This would include full restoration of the old Haddon tunnel and both Coombs Road & Rowsley viaducts to their former use and re-excavating the platforms back to normal size to allow trains to enter the site once planning permission is granted.

Famous quotes containing the words proposed, extension and/or stations:
“It looks as if we may be presented with a kind of vast municipal fire station.... What is proposed is like a monstrous carbuncle on the face of a much loved and elegant friend.”
—Charles, Prince Of Wales (b. 1948)
“The motive of science was the extension of man, on all sides, into Nature, till his hands should touch the stars, his eyes see through the earth, his ears understand the language of beast and bird, and the sense of the wind; and, through his sympathy, heaven and earth should talk with him. But that is not our science.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I can’t quite define my aversion to asking questions of strangers. From snatches of family battles which I have heard drifting up from railway stations and street corners, I gather that there are a great many men who share my dislike for it, as well as an equal number of women who ... believe it to be the solution to most of this world’s problems.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
