Story

Hope railway station was a rural railway station serving the small town of Hope in the Tasman district of New Zealand’s South Island. Hope is located on State Highway 6 between the larger towns of Richmond, to the north, and Brightwater, to the south. It was one of 25 stations on the Nelson Section, and existed from 1876 to 1955.Facilities at this station included a small wooden passenger shelter, goods shed and siding.HistoryThe first section of the Nelson Section to be built was from Stoke to Foxhill, as the route for this part of the line was the first to be confirmed while the route out of Nelson was still being debated. This included the construction of the Hope railway station, which was opened along with the first completed section from Nelson to Foxhill on 29 January 1876.Hope was one of seven stations on the Nelson Section between Nelson and Belgrove to have a goods shed, and came to the attention of the Nelson Progress League in 1949 because of the condition of the goods shed. The League was, at the time, conducting a campaign to encourage government investment in the line, and cited Hope as an example of the dilapidated state of the railway. The goods shed was later demolished and replaced with a smaller lean-to structure.In the 1950s, the Valetta Timber Company established a sawmill in a paddock behind the goods shed which included a private rail siding. This resulted in one of the busiest periods for revenue traffic for the station.

A lovely little station with a self-service ticket machine. Very conveniently located for many local walks- I particularly recommend a trip up to Win Hill which is a great way of getting a quick but beautiful panorama of the Ladybower Reservoir and the surrounding High Peak area.
Not that bad. Bridge feels like it’s gonna collapse any second and not many services
Small local train station right next to walking trails. Very 'middle of nowhere' feel which was the purpose of my visit, but if you thought of going for the thriving nightlife, it's not the stop for you. As usual, unmanned with no facilities, but clean enough and trains running about hourly.
A two platform railway station on the Hope Valley line. Regular trains to Sheffield and Manchester and the intermediate stations. Small car park. Short walk to the bus stop with buses to Castleton, Hathersage and Sheffield.
Great access to major walking/hiking routes. Served well by public transport. Not overly touristy
A really lovely station! just a shame a failed TOC serves it. it could be so much better under different management.
An attractive railway station with a lattice footbridge on the scenic Hope Valley Line. Steam trains pass through occasionally.
Announcements are rather muffled and ticket machine out of service.
Translated by Google This small bridge is very beautiful, you can take pictures while waiting for the train to come. Original
