Important work & good progress. Would be good to see target dates shown in the completed #IntegratedRailPlan for the openings of new/High Speed lines and for the #BeechingReopenings such as Peaks and Dales Railway This'll help boost confidence + catalyse inward investment/regeneration.
Leicester, Loughborough, Derby still lack their #CrossBoundary Manchester connection. #SustainableDevelopment calls for Peaks and Dales Railway to return. Transport for the North, Midlands Connect time to #GetPeaksandDalesRailwayDone
@Corbers_dean @christianwolmar Derbyshire CC Do take a peek Peaks and Dales Railway & @MEMRAP1 websites!

"Connectivity has a huge influence on all of our lives. It dictates the education we receive, the people we meet, the job we secure and, ultimately, our economic potential." midlandsconnect.uk/media/1571/mid… Peaks and Dales Railway & @MEMRAP1 aim to reinstate the East Midlands-Manchester railway.

"We are talking about... regular every day steam in the working timetable as ‘Q paths’, even for the day-out excursions, with the blessing of Network Rail." This is the integration the DfT was seeking, and is a model also proposed by Peaks and Dales Railway therailwayhub.co.uk/12045/keeping-…
@MEMRAP1 was outdoors, pretending that Rowsley was a station again today. Hard to see at the moment. But thank you BBC East Midlands for coming to check out our progress. #GetPeaksandDalesRailwayDone
Who indeed?! Access to/from and views of glorious countryside, by train. As National Parks work to hit their #NetZero emissions targets, we'll see fewer visitors in cars but more by train. #ModalShiftToRail for work, education & leisure. Peak District National Park Peaks and Dales Railway @MEMRAP1
Fantastic to see the petition top 16,000 already! If you've not already signed, please do consider doing so. Peaks and Dales Railway + @MEMRAP1 with great support from eg Railfuture EastMids & Broomhead Environmental are working hard to get this iconic railway re-opened. change.org/p/re-open-the-…
@MEMRAP1 Peak District National Park @peak_chair @CllrBarryLewis Sarah Dines Robert Largan Peaks and Dales Railway More than 16,000 people have already signed the petition calling for this reopening, to reconnect Manchester and the East Midlands directly by rail, and provide sustainable transport for Peak District National Park communities.

We see the #value that #investment in #railway #infrastructure brings to the local #economy. We see the environmental benefits of #ModalShiftToRail to help deliver #NetZero targets. We see how to realise these benefits for 13.25m visitors to Peak District National Park #RestoringYourRailway
Visionary leaders are taking proactive steps to help achieve HMG's #NetZero emissions target Chris Heaton-Harris As #ModalShiftToRail is the key, so decarbonising transport in England will similarly require railway electrification, new railways, & reopened railways e.g. Peaks and Dales Railway

UK needs #RestoringYourRailway #BeechingReopenings to provide connectivity to support #ModalShiftToRail - essential to reducing air pollution. We would be pleased to share with you Rt Hon Sir Grant Shapps how the Peaks and Dales line could help to tackle air pollution across the Midlands!
Absolutely stunning, @CharterRail! Looks like the Peaks and Dales line is on their map! Is it on yours yet? Department for Transport #RestoringYourRailway Midlands Connect Transport for the North NatInfraCommission #GetPeaksAndDalesRailwayDone #InwardInvestmentInRail #ModalShiftToRail
We're pleased to share that Peaks and Dales Railway, supported by @MEMRAP1, has submitted it's #RestoringYourRailway Round 3 application to the 'Ideas Fund'.

@CllrBarryLewis It is...! So it's good to see local plans being developed around the UK to help deliver HMG's #NetZero target. For example, Devon County Council now has its own dedicated website: devonclimateemergency.org.uk Clearly, #BuildingBackBetterGreenerFaster will be a huge challenge. #LevellingUp
Excellent! Who knew that people would travel by train, more sustainably, to visit our great National Parks UK? Well, @MEMRAP1 knows - aiming to reconnect directly Manchester, Peak District National Park & Derby. Peaks and Dales Railway: another great opportunity to reduce car (& HGV) use. #NetZero
