  • Rose Hill Suspension Briefing Note
    Suspension of Train Services between Rose Hill Marple and Manchester via Hyde Briefing Note Introduc?on Northern Rail announced, in a le1er to local MPs on 16th July, that they propose to suspend all train services between Rose Hill Marple and Manchester Piccadilly via Hyde from mid-September to mid- December 2020. There will be no trains to or from Rose Hill, Woodley, Hyde Central, Hyde North and Fairfield. The number of trains at Romiley, Guide Bridge, Gorton and Ashburys will be reduced compared to the current “Key Workers Timetable” that has been operaSng during the COVID-19 pandemic. At present Northern are operaSng 1 train per hour from Rose Hill to Manchester via Hyde, 3 trains every 2 hours between New Mills and Manchester via Bredbury and 2 trains per hour between Hadfield/ Glossop and Manchester. This Note has been prepared to comment on the impact of the proposals and on the reasons that Northern give for them. Impact of the Proposals In summary, the effects of the proposed suspension will include: 1. It will severely inconvenience the users of the suspended service. Although the number of passengers may have been low during the lockdown, they will increase as people are encouraged to return to work and to go into Manchester for shopping and other acSviSes. 2. It will be difficult, and in some cases impossible, for school and college students to access educaSonal insStuSons, further worsening the loss of educaSon since March and reducing their life chances. For example over 100 students commute daily to Rose Hill Marple from Romiley and beyond to access the High School and Sixth Form College.

  • 'Keeping You on Board' Hello from the Community Rail Partnership
    ‘Keeping you on board’ www.peakdistrictbytrain.org Issue 18 March 2021 Hello from the Community Rail Partnership A year ago we started sending out regular communications as a way of keeping everyone updated with changes in timetables caused by the pandemic. Here we are a year later on our 18th edition. ‘Keeping You On Board’ has evolved and has become a monthly feature in our work programme. As of this month, you will find it on our ‘News’ section of the website, where it will continue to be located. With Easter just around the corner, it feels like spring has sprung. Many of our stations have wonderful planters bursting with colour and the trees are just starting to bud. All this is great for birds and insects too, especially for bees which we’ve been raising awareness of in our ‘Buzzing Stations’ project – more about this and what we’re planning for early June in future newsletters. Spring brings the beginning of new things; when everything starts to burst into life and a chance for a fresh start. Let’s hope the ‘roadmap’ stage on 12th April brings renewed hope for places to open up and the start of people being able to travel a little more. We are very aware of the important role we play in promoting train travel, as per Government guidance, of course, for when that time comes. We’re busy planning our ‘Reconnect with Rail’ campaign to help raise awareness of train travel as the way to have a ‘great day out in the Peak District’ without having to get in the car.
