Although I have no personal knowledge of this railway, there seems to be a number of obvious inaccuracies on the signalling diagram included in the article:
Could someone with reliable knowledge of the signalling on this railway please confirm the correct situation. – Signalhead < T > 14:03, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
Please use correct grammar. I have noticed commas with no spaces, and name uncapitalised. I have added the {{copyedit}} tag. Thanks manadude2 ( talk) 21:09, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
I would reccomend that the 'future' and 'extensions' sections be merged, and second the grammatical condemnation of the entirety. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaconway88 ( talk • contribs) 05:20, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
I'm sure the publications i'm sure at the time said this was leased and gave the impression (though they didn't explicitly say) that the railway was still interested in the land long term (after all they do aim to link to buxton eventually) Plugwash ( talk) 01:44, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
The article suggests that the two level crossings were the only ones on the old Mdland Line from Manchester to London but there was, and is, at least one other at Sawley, and there was another at Cossington 86.141.118.161 ( talk) 14:08, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
To be pedantic the down platforms were number 1. So if the presently unused platform was reopened by Peak Rail should it ought be Platform 1 with the other being renumbered? Chevin ( talk) 17:47, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
This section: (First preservation attempts with the Buxton Steam Centre) was so incredibly confusing that I could not understand it, much less copyedit it. I'll copyedit the rest of the article, but I was not able to touch that section beyond leaving a tag. Aaron north ( T/ C) 02:03, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
I have finished my copyedit. I did what I could, but this article needs help. One of the most basic problems is that this is written like some sort of current event, to-be-updated, news-ish story. This is not written like an encyclopia entry, and of course hasn't been constantly updated. Parts of it should be re-done to minimize anticipation of what is about to come next tomorrow, next week, next year, etc. State the history, state the current features of the rail, put in a section on future plans, all in a professional encyclopedic tone, update when necessary, and the article would be much improved.

I have copyedited the First preservation attempts with the Buxton Steam Centre section. Hopefully this makes more sense now. Osarius : T : C : Been CSD'd? 15:06, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
There are too many images cluttering up the article. I will take the time to organise them into a gallery. Perhaps a few of you could help out on this task? Cheers. Osarius : T : C : Been CSD'd? 22:01, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
