Peak Rail的点评

2026年06月11日发布于: 海外

点评：Peak Rail (and it would most likely admit this itself) is not in the Premier League of Britain’s heritage railways. If you visit expecting an experience akin to, say, the Keighley & Worth Valley, the North Norfolk, the North Yorkshire Moors or the West Somerset lines, you will be disappointed. The ride is short but, owing to various to-the-layman complex operating requirements, is slow and punctuated by lengthy pauses. Our trips (a rover ticket enabled two return runs) was decidedly jerky; a 1955 vintage tank engine designed to shunt trucks in collieries, rather than pull carriages, to blame, we were told. To view the best of what little scenery this broad stretch of the Derwent Valley offers, sit on the right side of the train when travelling from Rowsley South to Matlock (and vice versa). In the credit column, the staff were friendly and helpful (special mention for Jo, one of the volunteer train crew), and, to my surprise, nobody seemed to mind my wandering around the engine shed and yard at Rowsley. If plans to extend the line to Bakewell ever bear fruit, thus linking it from somewhere (Matlock) to somewhere else (Bakewell), I imagine it would improve Peak Rail considerably.

翻译：Peak Rail（它自己很可能也会承认这一点）并非英国顶级遗产铁路之一。如果您期待的是类似基斯利和沃斯谷铁路、北诺福克铁路、北约克郡荒原铁路或西萨默塞特铁路的体验，那么您一定会失望。虽然车程不长，但由于一些对普通人来说较为复杂的运营要求，列车运行缓慢，且经常长时间停顿。我们乘坐的列车（一张通票可以往返两次）颠簸得厉害；据我们了解，罪魁祸首是一台1955年产的老式蒸汽机车，它原本是为煤矿调车而设计的，而不是用来牵引客车的。想要欣赏德文特河谷这段宽阔路段上为数不多的美景，建议您在从罗斯利南站前往马特洛克站（反之亦然）时坐在列车的右侧。值得称赞的是，工作人员热情友好，乐于助人（特别要提到志愿者列车乘务员乔），而且令我惊讶的是，似乎没有人介意我在罗兹利机车库和货场里随意走动。如果将线路延伸至贝克韦尔的计划最终得以实现，从而将线路从马特洛克连接到贝克韦尔，我想这将极大地改善峰区铁路的运营状况。
