In association with Nottingham Heritage Vehicles Charity

After a very successful event last June, Peak Rail Rowsley South Station and grounds, midway between Matlock and Bakewell becomes home once again to Road Transport for the day. NHVC & Peak Rail welcome a selection of up to 60 vintage buses and coaches to our site for the day.

Admission is completely FREE!

What to Expect

  • Steam & DMU Rides through the beautiful Derwent Valley.
  • Free Bus Rides.

Buses: Some exhibits will be static, whilst others complement the Heritage Railway route along the Derwent Valley. Operating on FREE bus services throughout the Derbyshire Dales linking Bakewell, Chatsworth, Rowsley and Darley Dale we hope to bring nostalgia alive again. So, please join us to help make this event bigger and better than ever before.

Browse a number of quality Transport related stalls and other attractions onsite.
