We campaign to improve services on the Hope Valley rail line, covering the area between Chinley and Dore.


Our priorities:

- To improve the timetable on the line. We are campaigning for an hourly stopping service between Manchester and Sheffield

- To improve the quality of the trains in use on the line, particularly focusing upon the over-crowding on peak-time services

- To represent the concerns of our members relating to other aspects of the train services to the relevant train companies


Activities include:

- Meeting with representatives of all the rail companies serving the line to discuss the service

- Lobbying MPs and local Councillors to work on our behalf

- Meeting with other stakeholders, such as freight operators and neighbouring rail users' groups

- Responding on behalf of our members to statutory consultation documents


Read our proposals:

- We have set out detailed proposals in response to the Network Rail Route Utilisation Strategy
