The 15 inch gauge Light Railway in Markeaton Park, Derby, closed in September 2016. The roof of 1940-built shed that housed the train had become insecure but the owners of the building, Derby City Council, were unwilling to pay for renewal. The owners of the railway have sold the train and track. Track lifting was complete by mid-October leaving just the ballast and sleepers. The walk between Markeaton and Mundy stations is 1.4km (0.87m) and includes two wooden bridges over the Markeaton Brook.
