In the early 1990s Peak Rail was extending South towards Matlock but was having trouble negotiating access to Matlock station. Matlock Riverside was built, a single platform with a run-round loop. In 2008 Peak Rail was finally able to extend to Matlock but Matlock Riverside has been retained as a station for occasional and emergency use.
The station is very basic with a single platform which used to be at Chee Dee Halt. The platform has a shelter but no ticket office.
