All The Stations Project Call At Buxton and New Mills



From the website: http://allthestations.co.uk

Geoff & Vicki are travelling to all 2,563 railway stations in Great Britain.

All The Stations is a project to travel to ALL the national railway stations in Britain over the spring and summer of 2017, and to create an online documentary film about the journey.

Was waiting for them to reach my neck of the woods. However due to the content of a bonus video on Geoff's channel I was worried that they weren't going to bother covering High Peak. I needn't have worried.
