Blackburn with Darwen Template Community Rail in Lancashire James Syson – Chair ELCRP & CLCRP Transport Strategy Team Leader Blackburn with Darwen Council THE COMMUNITY RAIL STRATEGY The Community Rail Strategy, launched in November 2004, proposed practical and pragmatic ways of managing rural and local railways. The Strategy aims to offer ‘new life for local lines’ through a community driven approach - securing the future of these routes by putting them on a more sustainable footing. The four aims of the strategy are: • Increasing revenue • Reducing costs • Increasing community involvement • Stimulation of economic and social regeneration At the heart of the Strategy are Community Rail Partnerships (CRPs), which bring together local stakeholders to support the development of local rail services. CRP core membership is usually the lead local authority (often the county council) and the train operator and other commercial and non commercial members may be active according to local circumstances.

Getting to this stage has involved following a now well-established process. However, there Services into Sellafield during peak hours are two key differences with this strategy. suffer from overcrowding, though Northern The first is that no part of the area it covers Rail’s anticipated service from December is the responsibility of either a Passenger 2008 will address that to a degree.

  • Tales from Dalesrail Dalesrail – an Appreciation (Part 1) John Barnes Dalesrail May Not Be Operating in 2020 but That Doesn'
    Tales from DalesRail DalesRail – An Appreciation (part 1) John Barnes DalesRail may not be operating in 2020 but that doesn’t stop us sharing our many interesting experiences about our journeys. We hope you will share your interesting stories, favourite walks, fascinating anecdotes and pictures about DalesRail. Please send them to [email protected] or Simon Clarke at [email protected]. My first DalesRail experience The first walk I did for DalesRail was in 1995, it was a lovely day and we had caught a bus connection from Kirkby Stephen which took us to the start of the walk at Langdon Beck in Teesdale. The walk was a portion of the Pennine Way from Langdon Beck to Appleby (about 16 miles) and was led by a man named Peter Walker. A wonderful walk in the most remote and beautiful countryside along the River Tees to Cauldron Snout and across the moors to High Cup Nick and on to Appleby. How was this made possible? On the train was a bustle, people walking about the train organising the walks, counting the numbers; certain names were bandied about were Howard Hammersley, Bob Sanderson, Peter Walker, Harold Jones and several others, but who were they? I found out later that they were part of the organising committee of the Lancashire Rail Ramblers and it was this committee which organised the walks programme and whose members were the walk leaders. The naming of unit 156464 ‘Lancashire DalesRail’ with Howard Hammersley next to Matt Beaton from Northern Rail and many of the Lancashire Rail Ramblers team.
