The Rotary Club of Church Wilne recently welcomed Stephen Chaytow of the Manchester & East Midlands Rail Partnership (MEMRAP) to its speaker meeting. He gave a very enlightening talk on the campaign to reinstate the Peaks and Dale railway line to once again provide a direct line from Derby to Manchester and improve connectivity in Derbyshire. The MEMRAP website is very informative detailing all the benefits the line would bring, improving access to the Peak district National Park and cutting journey times from Derby to Manchester. https://www.memrap.org/
“Investing
in transport links is essential to levelling up access to opportunities across
the country, ensuring our regions are better connected, local economies
flourish
and more than half a century of isolation is undone.”
