The LEP consultants report will be available soon so hopefully that will have some costings. Thankfully we're talking peanuts compared to Crossrail, London Bridge, Birmingham etc. There should be accessibility funding that can be called on now for some of the work required anyway at Northwich...

]By creating, I ment widen the current. And I even said that :rolleyes: Right, by taking out the railing that currently fences off the 3rd platform?

Lots of people in Middlewich are interested in a Chester service because it now takes over an hour in the rush hour to drive the 20 miles. The traffic at Gadbrook is so bad now people can no longer get to Northwich to get the Chester train from there. Having said that 40% of Middlewich's...

Looks like Knutsford will be reclassified as C2. Passenger numbers are up at Northwich and Altrincham too

What did people think of the article about us in the latest edition of RAIL?

Reduced costs from paying taxi fares to get people to/from Barclays, already overcrowded parking, inability to expand size of current office space because of need for more parking but no space for it, ease of travel, ability to work on the train - which you can't do while driving. In addition...

Given the terrible traffic queues, and lack of parking, at Gadbrook Park I'm surprised Barclays Bank haven't asked Mr Osborne to green light this project. The line runs yards away from Barclay's Gadbrook office. The new business case includes a station at Gadbrook - 5,000 people work there but...

Hi, yes. In 2013 our MP Fiona Bruce presented a 2,000 plus petition to the Deputy Speaker in the House of Commons. With 80,000 people living in Crewe, 17,000 in Sandbach, 14,000 in Middlewich, 20,000 in Northwich, 13,000 in Knutsford and 50,000 in Altrincham it wasn't a great representation of...

Thank you to everyone who contacted the campaign with details of businesses to be included in the business case. The business case is now nearing completion. In other news: Paul Salveson is speaking at the next campaign meeting. Please come along if you'd like: 7pm on 31st May at The Wych...

On the campaign group Facebook page today there's a request for help. If you know any businesses along the Altrincham - Crewe route let the campaign group know as they're updating the business case. Thanks in advance

Oh no, people will be thinking there's some plan to build a road tunnel under Teggs Nose or something! I just meant the process is underway to make the project happen. They met with Andrew Ross who I believe is the officer in charge of transport at CE. The leader of the council was apparently...

Hi Paul, no so. Members of the Mid Cheshire Rail Link campaign met with Cheshire East recently and the station at Middlewich - and one at Gadbrook- are in the project pipeline

Hi, just popping back to say thank you to everyone who has offered advice about this topic. I thought people may be interested in Cheshire East's local plan which is now out for consultation. No idea why but all the other multi million pound infrastructure assets (railway lines) in CE are on...

Except it won't because that's a quiet stretch of motorway most of the time and when it isn't we use the local roads instead. The upgrade is to 'smart motorway' presumably to better manage traffic during all the accidents that happen between J17 and J19. The works are going to take 3 years and...

Can you give any reasons for saying this? It's just that all 6 MPs along the route, 4 town councils and both borough councils support the project. Altrincham and SW Manchester want direct trains to Crewe (London); Gadbrook Park has run out of parking and their traffic is contesting the A556 at...

I know in the past funding has been available from various sources but where could the money come from now for the Middlewich Link? Should the campaign be applying for grants and if so does anyone know of any?

Hi The Planner, I can accept NR can't take the 2009 report at face value but I can't accept that in the 6 years since then nothing has happened. It's starting to look like this project has stalled simply because NR couldn't get anyone to pay for the validation report and wouldn't fund it...

Reinstating Middlewich station needs be a stand alone project so it won't get caught up in the proposals to move Basford Hall to Middlewich. The Cheshire East Council leader has said that he supports the aspiration for the passenger service in anticipation of high speed rail. In an interview...

Hi, access to the schools and colleges at Greenbank is one of the reasons Middlewich and Sandbach want the Middlewich Link Line passenger trains back. Here's a BBC Radio Manchester/Stoke report from last week about the line: http://nekodesu.moe/middlewichrailradio.m4a

The Middlewich Rail Link Campaign is meeting on Tuesday (29th Sept) at 8pm at The Boar's Head in Middlewich, CW10 0JE. If anyone is interested in supporting the campaign please come along. The campaign group has set up a Facebook page: 'Middlewich Railway Station.' We've been asked some good...
