True! True! All true....! Hence my oft-repeated caveats concerning everything that Cheshire East and Michael Jones do and say. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- We certainly don't. To be clear on this issue, MRLC's job, as I see it, is to persuade Cheshire East and Network...

Neither have we!

As Chairman of the Middlewich Rail Link Campaign I've been following this thread with interest. Can I just make a few observations, based on what I have read? First of all, nice though it would be, we all know that Virgin Trains are not, and never will be, interested in stopping any of their...

Hi Paul, Yes, sorry, I did reply to your original posting, but my reply seems to have got lost in the ether somewhere. I'm sorry about the misunderstanding and thank you for your encouraging words. We've seen the fortunes of the railway industry, and the way it is perceived, change...

Nothing really happened? Except that we finally, after a great deal of pushing, managed to get the then Cheshire County Council to take the lead in setting up a steering group, which then led to us obtaining funding for the Railway Consultancy Report which, like every other report, recommended...

We're currently engaged in an exercise to gauge the support the re-opening has from the various candidates for the local council elections. We propose to publish our findings before May 5th www.middlewichstation.org.uk

Thanks for that. I'm glad you have grasped the basic point I was trying to make - that Middlewich is not just another 'pie-in-the-sky' idea dreamed up (I hate that phrase) by idealistic enthusiasts longing for an unattainable goal. I have said on many occasions that if someone can give me...

Yes, the idea of an additional station at that location has been discussed at our meetings and, I think, pitched to Cheshire West & Chester Council on a few occasions. There's certainly been a lot of housing development in the area in recent years and expressions of support and interest from...

That would be most useful. Many thanks. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- You're not from Middlewich are you? I'm asking because, in the erly days of our campaign, this was the oft-repeated cry from some locals. Strangely though,when we asked for their detailed reasons for...

Obviously you are privy to information which which do not possess. We are always ready to hear from people who know more than we do, so please enlighten us so that we can stop wasting our time. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- As you'll see from our website we have persuaded...

I have spent a little time recently reading through some closed threads, some of which made mention of the proposal for a new service from Crewe to Manchester serving a re-opened Middlewich Station. It may be useful for those who doubt if this is a realistic project to read the consultants...
