We arrived at Furness Vale on the line to Buxton by bike, and had just enough time to capture this small Derbyshire station before moving on. It's based around a level crossing at the northern end of the platforms:

The level crossing is controlled by a signalbox just to its north:

On the other side of the line from the signalbox is this building which claims to be the Station House:

As well as the level crossing, an iron footbridge is available to cross the line. Here's its western end:
