The best parking and access is at Rowsley station, where staff are friendly and helpful. Wheelchair and buggy access is good, if not total, and there is a disabled access carriage normally in operation (if not, you have the option of the luggage carriage, where you also store buggies for the journey). Price wise, a family day ticket is less than £20, so not a bad price these days. The ride is a nice length, with some good scenery along the way. There is a small shop (not disabled accessible due to steps), and accessible toilets, at Rowsley.

The Heights of Abraham are the most famous tourist attraction in the very touristy spa-town of…read moreMatlock. Many a family comes from the surrounding cities of Manchester, Derby and Sheffield to spend the day exploring Matlock, and few can resist the CABLE CAR RIDE up to the attraction of The Heights of Abraham. To travel on the cable cars and enter The Heights of Abraham, one has to part with a steep ten pounds. The cable car journey itself is great fun, and if you haven't done it before, has novelty value, but if I'm honest, it's the best thing about the entire place, and it only goes downhill (no pun intended) from there. At the top you will find a shop selling memorabilia but as you can imagine this is largely tat, and much of it bears no relation whatsoever to the area or the place. You will also find a greasy canteen style café selling tea and coffee, baguettes, cakes, hot dogs, soups and jacket potatoes. The food is nice, but very overpriced, so expect to be stung yet again. There's also a restaurant, but its not much of restaurant as it only sells burgers, paninis and salads. These are nice, but also expensive, with a burger setting you back a good seven quid. Your ticket also includes the chance to explore two old disused mines which are pretty interesting and definitely worth seeing, though half an hour is enough time to cover both of these. There's also a rock museum, the boredom induced by which speaks for itself. On the whole it's a close call as to whether its worth it. Perhaps one should go once if in the area. The cable cars are good, and cost some millions to make, but its very expensive to go and once you're there. Basically yelpers, I'm leaving it up to you.

Sheffield Station is the busiest station in South Yorkshire, serving the city centre of Sheffield,…read moreit is also part of the Supertram network, where you can continue your journey around Sheffield/Rotherham, and the station is located adjacent to Sheffield Hallam University. The station is managed by East Midlands Railway, who provide most of the major services going in and out of the station, including services to Manchester and London. The station is also served by Transpennine Express on the Manchester Airport - Cleethorpes line (via Doncaster), and also has CrossCountry services (Edinburgh, Reading, Newcastle, York) and many Northern services (local services around Yorkshire and Greater Manchester) Due to the construction of the station, meaning you have to pass through the station to use the footbridge for access to bus and Supertram services, there are no ticket gates here. The main concourse of the station is pretty noticeable and modern, including a couple of shops / small-take away kiosks, there isn't particularly places to sit down and get something to eat/drink in the station which is annoying, but there is a Superdrug and Marks and Spencer Simply Food. There are places nearby in the city centre for food, however. I hate the lift at this station which takes you up to the footbridge, it must be the world's slowest lift, the doors take forever to close up to the point they're forced to have a sign in the lift, it says they're "working on it", but it's been like that for over two years... I guess it will stay like that. I think the station is A-OK, but still miles apart from other stations in Yorkshire including York and Leeds. 3*

Clean and modernized rail station in the Midlands, Sheffield offers transport to London,…read moreManchester, Leeds and Liverpool plus CrossCountry services to Scotland. There is also a tram stop nearby for Sheffield services. It's really quite a nice station with easy access to the tracks on stairs and step-free. There are labels on the steps so that traffic is kept to the left side. Many ticket windows for purchasing tickets if, like me, the automated ticket machine doesn't like your "swipe" credit card. Departure board is easy to read and the signage clearly points out which way to which platforms. There is a beautiful sculpture / fountain out front.

There isn't really much to say about Chesterfield Railway Station.... there are two platforms, so…read moreno problem getting lost. There is no bus stop at the station, but probably for the best as it is a very busy junction... can even prove a bit tricky for pedestrians. The station does have a car park, both long stay and short stay, although because it is quite the spot for commuters, there are a number of other (and cheaper) car parking options just down the road off the roundabout. Plenty of places to store bikes, there is a cash point just to the left of the entrance toward the newsagent. There is also a little café as well if you want to grab a drink to go. Inside the station itself, just outside the café and newsagent are some tables and chairs if you are waiting for someone or arrived a bit early. To the right of the entrance are two self-service ticket kiosks and a car parking pay point. No ticket barriers at the station, making it easy to access the toilets on Platform 1. Again, not a whole lot here, but I think it keeps the station hassle-free.
