Having cycled from Dove Holes via the closed station at Peak Forest we arrived at Hope, the last station of the day.

Access to the station is down Station Road just off Hope Road itself:

The road leads to the car park wfrom where we can see the station site including the shelter and footbridge:

Just east of the car park is a swath of disused land:
