If anyone is still unclear why the infrastructure from a proper link between the poorly performing East Midlands and the North-West might help to underpin agglomeration and growth Campaign for the Peak Line offers this for its followers


Campaign for the Peak Line in the line up on 28th March in Buxton. Presenting the case for reinstatement and sustainability. Don't miss!

Everyone concerned with rural bus services, especially in Peak District National Park will be concerned about this news. Campaign for the Peak Line notes that it follows on from the liquidation of Derbyshire Community Transport a few months ago. Echoing John Whitby MP in seeking a local solution.

GBR is one of many reasons why Derby, Derbyshire and its National Park deserve and need proper connectivity, resuming its direct rail link to Manchester Catherine Atkinson MP Baggy Shanker MP John Whitby MP Jon Pearce MP Jonathan Davies Toby Perkins MP Natalie Fleet MP @louisejonesMP

The gleam in Campaign for the Peak Line's eye is to see 2 of these sets, fast from St Pancras to Leicster and Derby. Then.... front 5 Chesterfield and Sheffield, rear 5, Belper, Matlock, Bakewell, Millers Dale, Chapel-en-le-Frith, Chinley, Stockport, Manchester. Feasibility in progress.



Today, Cemex states that it is 50:50 whether returning empties arrive on time for their next customer load. Derbyshire rail needs the extra capacity offered by Campaign for the Peak Line

With replacements to the Monsal Trail and White Peak Loop now tabled, Campaign for the Peak Line continues to remove barriers to reinstatement of rail, integrated with other #sustainabletravelmodes


For the same reason the greatest weakness of Campaign for the Peak Line is the insistence of DfT to devolve decision taking for a 190 mile mainline railway to the LTA, in this case Derbyshire CC

Campaign for the Peak Line says that a traveller from fast growing Corby could reach Manchester with a single change at Kettering, onto the semi-fast, that might justify a turnback at Bedford, in the wake of Universal Studios' arrival?

The Last Regular commuter to/from Great Longstone. Respect from Campaign for the Peak Line

Lets test Campaign for the Peak Line against this model soon!

Campaign for the Peak Line wrote up the idea for Liverpool to Brighton via Leicester three years ago. We were laughed at then. Thank you Grand Central!



A very necessary piece of work for Yorkshire. It is now up to Mayor of the East Midlands, Claire Ward to ensure that this master Yorkshire plan is integrated seamlessly, for example: Nottingham - Leeds improvements.


A real turning point. No longer will it be necessary to look back and remind people of underinvestment in infrastructure for the East Midlands. This is the future. Well done to Mayor of the East Midlands, Claire Ward and her top tier team

At this event in Buxton at the Palace Hotel: britanniahotels.com/hotels/palace-…, we were reminded that this beautifully restored building was first opened in 1868 soon after the railway arrived here. Rail created a boom then and Campaign for the Peak Line can help to bring Derbyshire prosperity again
