Despite being a branch in itself, there is also a separate 1⁄2 mile (0.8 km) branch operating from Platform 3 at Wirksworth Station up a 1 in 27 (3.27 %) gradient incline to Ravenstor (for the National Stone Centre and the High Peak Trail). The line is operated by a large fleet of heritage diesel multiple units (DMU), as well as diesel and visiting steam locomotives.
