The Peaks and Dales Line

We were fortunate enough to be able to join the @UTG_UK event with @MayorEastMids today. Great to get an understanding of the vision and even better for our team that our feasibility study (in preparation) makes many of the same points made today.

We welcome the Peak Park Partnership @AndyBurnhamGM, @OliverCoppard, @ClaireWardEM - the future of the Peak District Unlocking potential requires a solution as iconic as the landscape - our proposals offer exactly that. #PeaksAndDalesLine #PeakPartnership #IntegratedTransport

Busy today as the team continue to share the fantastic progress on our feasibility study #PeaksandDalesLine Great to be sharing space with other members of the mainline railway family. Thanks again to @greatestgather for looking after us.

Awesome preparation by @greatestgather for this largest ever display showcasing rail - past, present and future. Huge thanks to their team for hosting our team - as we shared our proposals for the future of rail connectivity to/from Derby and beyond. #rail200

Delighted to see the 2025 Green Book Review findings. Six in total with recommendations - lots of benefits for our feasibility study and beyond. gov.uk/government/publicatio…

Well done to all in securing these funds Our feasibility study is ‘demonstrating positive impact on growth’ & ‘providing solutions to known transport problems’ (Dept for Transport) Integrated with our study, schemes like these could benefit further eastmidlands-cca.gov.uk/news…

Chancellor announces £15bn for transport projects - more needed for the North West/East Midlands connectivity and overdue solutions for the unsustainable traffic problems. Our feasibility study will present a ‘catalyst for change’. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c331…

- @AndyBurnhamGM @MayorofGM and @LCRMayor propose private investment for local delivery of national infrastructure. We've already headlined that approach in our proposals and secured development resources via private companies and individuals. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm2y…

We continue to grow support across the communities the line will serve and benefit. We are thrilled we now have 27 supporting MPs and hopefully more to follow. Our benefits driven feasibility study development is clearly providing assurance for our supporters. Thank you all !

The Department for Transport seeks views on policies for the forthcoming Railways Bill This will establish Great British Railways - a single directing mind running our rail infrastructure and passenger services in the public interest Follow the link ⬇️ gov.uk/government/consultati…

Driving stakeholder and community engagement across all the communities the #PeaksAndDalesLine will serve is a key structured component of our feasibility study We are proud to share that we have now secured support for our feasibility study from sixteen Members of Parliament!

There are benefits for every community along the reinstated #PeaksAndDalesLine and we are delighted to share that yesterday Stockport became the latest community with an MP offering direct support for our feasibility study. #SustainableIntegratedTransport

Excellent news from the communities the #PeaksandDalesLine will serve as today we have just established our 7th Community Team. These teams directly and positively support our proposals by sharing key facts and messages as well as bringing ideas, and questions to us.

A busy start to 2025 for the team leading the reinstatement of the #PeaksAndDalesLine - Two confirmed interns - thanks @UniofNottingham - Correspondence confirming support of the reinstatement and our feasibility study being sent to the Rail Minister by multiple supportive MPs

We wanted to thank all of our team, our members, supporters and stakeholders that have given their time to enable us to achieve so much in 2024 As we start 2025, we continue to finalise the feasibility study ready for submission to and assessment by the Department for Transport

Yesterday should have been a ‘wrap up’ call with our intern. Instead he’s asked to stay for a few more weeks to support our feasibility study development We are so proud that we have an increasing number of individuals & communities coming together to support #PeaksandDalesLine

We’ve had a series of stakeholder meetings with confirmed support from 6 MPs - more to follow Also a positive meeting with the Peak District National Park CEO Our proposals will provide #Sustainable #IntegratedTransport by reinstating one of the most scenic railways in the UK

This weekend saw another rail reinstatement that reconnects communities. We are growing stakeholder and public support and our feasibility study will show how we propose to drive #Sustainability and #IntegratedTransport #PeaksandDalesLine railtechnologymagazine.com/a…

Another busy week preparing our 2025 plans including interviews for intern positions with the support of @UniofNottingham Two offers sent - if accepted, we will have the highest level of additional support to date, ensuring we progress our ongoing feasibility study development

We’ve confirmed three interviews for the next round of potential @UniofNottingham interns. This invaluable support enables our team to bring together a clear set of specific and measured benefits for each community the line will serve - a critical part of our feasibility study.
