An entry in William Margery’s school book
(circa 1930) shows that there were six trains a day from Taunton to Yeovil and
eight in the opposite direction, the journey taking a little over one hour.
Fares from Matlock were 1 shilling return to Yeovil and 2 shillings and 3 pence
to Taunton
There were eight stations on the line all
serving the surrounding villages. The line is now closed and there is no longer
any direct public transport between Matlock and Taunton
