The line follows the Midland Main Line as far as Ambergate Junction, which is south of Ambergate railway station, originally built by the North Midland Railway. The line then continues to Matlock, following the course of the River Derwent along what was originally the Manchester, Buxton, Matlock and Midlands Junction Railway.
