Transport

The village is served by Dinting railway station, on the Glossop Line between Glossop, Hadfield and Manchester Piccadilly. The station has a generally half-hourly service in both directions.

It is notable for the Dinting Arches, a viaduct which carries the railway over Glossop Brook.

The Dinting Railway Centre was run by the Bahamas Locomotive Society until it closed in 1991, due to leasing difficulties. The museum moved to Ingrow (West) station, alongside the line at the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway. .
