Thank you everyone for your replies. jcollins, I think you're referring to Mid Cheshire college? That college and South Cheshire (in Crewe) are the FE colleges Middlewich students struggle to get to - because they're too young to drive/don't have cars and the buses are so poor. Perhaps I...

Hi yes, I started a thread about the Middlewich Link Line and got lots of great replies that convinced me that our line is viable. What I'm interested in now is how we get Middlewich station and the passenger trains back. We've already got a feasibility report but there's total silence from...

My town has track with freight trains but our station closed in the '50s. What are people's top tips for getting your station put back?

Does anyone know where the planning/procuring is up to?

He sounds like someone who would have unblocked the ridiculous impasse going on over the Middlewich Link Line! Bing Bong 'Would Chris Green please contact the Middlewich Rail Link campaign.'

That information about Hut Group is a worry. A shuttle bus service could run the mile or so up King St from Middlewich station to Gadbrook until a station gets put in at Gadbrook. No doubt the Cheshire and Warrington Local Transport Board (LTB) will want to make the Middlewich Line a...

Hi bluenoxid, this line is already viable whether or not there's a yard. Like everywhere else, Middlewich, and the surrounding areas, have increasing populations which need better transport; particularly Middlewich (pop 15,000) - Chester/Manchester/Crewe and Knutsford/Altrincham- Crewe. I hear...

Thanks for your post BigVern. Your suggestion solves the south part of the problem but we don't all work in Manchester - many of us in this region want to go to West to Chester, or North to South West Manchester/Salford for which neither Sandbach or Holmes Chapel - are any use. As a result...

Thank you for so many great replies - I knew this was the place to ask my question. To answer a few points: We can drive, or get local buses, to nearby towns/villages to connect to rail. By the time you've walked to the bus stop, gone round the houses on the bus, allowed extra time for...

Good point Captain. I'm pleased to say that a study done a few years ago gave this route a 5:1 cost benefit ratio and found it was financially viable. I've (hopefully) attached the link here...

Heartbreaking weekend recently - the sight of passenger trains running through Middlewich between Euston and Chester/Holyhead, knowing they couldn't stop here for us and that we won't see them again until the next engineering works. 15,000 of us live in Middlewich. I cannot tell you how much...
