Their tireless dedication has ensured that heritage trains run between Matlock and Rowsley South, paving the way for a full reinstatement of the whole route. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4a9f446b7d5e51d43bf3af/1582912635593-NP12UPVL3FMN6RM74ONX/Manchester+Central.jpg History - 1867 First trains ran along the whole route between Derby and Manchester. Until 1923, the service was run by the Midland Railway. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4a9f446b7d5e51d43bf3af/1589301394424-X7IRZXAG8TKHIKHGUGTJ/MEMRAP%252BSocial%252BLogo%252B%252528PNG%252529%252B26.04.2020.jpg History - MEMRAP Manchester and East Midlands Rail Action Partnership (MEMRAP) has been campaigning for the reinstatement of the Peaks and Dales line since 2018. Peaks and Dales Railway is very pleased to be working with MEMRAP to promote the reinstatement of this vital piece of Britain’s railway infrastructure.

History - British Railways Following Nationalisation in 1948, the Peaks and Dales line continued to see the Palatine and the Peaks Express trains until they were withdrawn in 1964. BR also instigated the Midland Pullman (pictured - image courtesy of Colin Boocock) - with its striking blue trains - which ran from 1960 - 1966. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4a9f446b7d5e51d43bf3af/1594983394771-VH22OHI4EOTF8650Z28Q/Image+courtesy+of+Colin+Boocock%2C+C.Eng.%2C+F.I.Mech.E. History - 1923-1948 During LMS ownership, the Peaks and Dales line was the direct route from London to Manchester and saw an express service called the Palatine (starting in Manchester), and its counterpart, the Peaks Express (starting in London), with stops on the Peaks and Dales line at Millers Dale and Matlock (image courtesy of Colin Boocock). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4a9f446b7d5e51d43bf3af/1582750810809-Z6EPROS94JAGR95IF324/Beeching.jpg History - Beeching Report A short-sighted report into the declining revenues and numbers of passengers on Britain’s railways, known as the Beeching Report, was published in 1963. Devastating nationally, the effect on the Peaks and Dales line was the phased withdrawal of passenger services from the route between 1964 and 1967. Some freight services continued during this period, as the Beeching Report had recommended. The line was eventually closed by the then Minister for Transport, Barbara Castle, in 1968. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4a9f446b7d5e51d43bf3af/1594983807559-KMU6TVD6VWY318YUA1C3/Image+courtesy+of+Colin+Boocock%2C+C.Eng.%2C+F.I.Mech.E. History - Monsal Trail Largely thanks to the Peak District National Park and its 9.9 million visitors each year, 8.5 miles of the track-bed between Blackwell Mill and Bakewell is also well-preserved and currently supports the Monsal Trail - which includes several former railway tunnels and the iconic railway viaduct at Monsal Head (pictured - image courtesy of Colin Boocock). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4a9f446b7d5e51d43bf3af/1582884665500-CK2IHXIAQJLQTKW33MU1/Free+Image+of+Monsal+Dale+Edits+v.+2+28+02+2020.jpg History https://www.peaksanddalesrailway.com/reinstatement daily 0.75 2023-03-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4a9f446b7d5e51d43bf3af/1616153793901-I3YDW9SZ4XZ4XIP9QYYV/PDR++MEMRAP+Schematic+Route+Map+v.+2.4+18.02.2021.png Reinstatement https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4a9f446b7d5e51d43bf3af/1623939450690-4EI1279WYD56WDIK6WNM/PDR+Line+Diagram+Version+2+Issue+2.3.png Reinstatement - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4a9f446b7d5e51d43bf3af/1582811264159-P8Z44HJDB41MN17OQ5O1/Shutterstock+Image+of+Monsal+Head+Viaduct+%28Compressed%29.jpg Reinstatement https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4a9f446b7d5e51d43bf3af/1582811321400-UCDJGXRGQJA0XXRZRE5I/Shutterstock+Image+of+Rusher+Cutting+Tunnel.jpg Reinstatement https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4a9f446b7d5e51d43bf3af/1582811432807-0I7DW6GJY9F9RA5MN2RU/Shutterstock+Image+of+Headstone+Tunnel+%28Compressed%29.jpg Reinstatement https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4a9f446b7d5e51d43bf3af/1582884731153-S7VKA8JKKPBF4DP2D09R/Free+Image+of+Monsal+Dale+Edits+v.+2+28+02+2020.jpg Reinstatement https://www.peaksanddalesrailway.com/news daily 0.75 2021-12-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4a9f446b7d5e51d43bf3af/1584364135180-Y3Q07B1O37SU0QP1DXZU/PDR+Logo+v.+16.03.2020.jpg News - Restoring Your Railway Round 3 Announcement https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4a9f446b7d5e51d43bf3af/1584396414003-V4RO3KVWVPNK8P6QNAHH/Business%2BCase%2BCover.jpg News - Submission of Business Case to Department for transport Peaks and Dales Railway has submitted its Business Case to the DfT ‘Ideas Fund’! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4a9f446b7d5e51d43bf3af/1590248075423-S8A7NJCVTEA1GTMOW8DO/Headstone+Head+Viaduct+Freight.png News - Peaks and dales railway invited to meet with dft The Rail Minister has invited Peaks and Dales Railway to meet with Department for Transport officials to discuss how best to take our reinstatement project forwards to the next stage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4a9f446b7d5e51d43bf3af/1583158200266-15H8N6K7RFZVD8LKQL0G/Parliament.jpg News - Registration for department for Transport Funding Peaks and Dales Railway has registered with the DfT ‘Ideas Fund’! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4a9f446b7d5e51d43bf3af/1590097985478-LJUMBR402W1WCU3QSK44/PDR+Simple+Route+Schematic+v.+6+07.05.2020.png News - Peaks and Dales Railway Business Case under consideration The Rail Minister confirmed in a parliamentary written response that the Peaks and Dales Railway application to the DfT ‘Ideas Fund’ is “currently under consideration”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4a9f446b7d5e51d43bf3af/1615547984845-IMJN5B7I0G4783J3RSXP/Round+3+Application+Cover.png News - Peaks and Dales Railway Submits RYR Round 3 Application Supported by MEMRAP, Peaks and Dales Railway has submitted its application to Round 3 of the Restoring Your Railway ‘Ideas Fund’ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4a9f446b7d5e51d43bf3af/1582884770466-SNRYAWBA2SX1HHQRPTK7/Free+Image+of+Monsal+Dale+Edits+v.+2+28+02+2020.jpg News https://www.peaksanddalesrailway.com/privacy-policy daily 0.75 2020-02-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4a9f446b7d5e51d43bf3af/1582884894980-R0VR2WPOB9H98H9YJ0Z3/Free+Image+of+Monsal+Dale+Edits+v.+2+28+02+2020.jpg Privacy Policy https://www.peaksanddalesrailway.com/restoring-your-railway daily 0.75 2020-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4a9f446b7d5e51d43bf3af/1583158277195-9NMLQJ64QAUE7XQ79SON/Parliament.jpg Restoring Your Railway https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4a9f446b7d5e51d43bf3af/1582884811963-GCHHKPLMSWJAGZQ6D1LD/Free+Image+of+Monsal+Dale+Edits+v.+2+28+02+2020.jpg Restoring Your Railway https://www.peaksanddalesrailway.com/2-business-case daily 0.75 2020-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4a9f446b7d5e51d43bf3af/1584396581417-18WG04591U1MDN1K0KHD/Business+Case+Cover.png 2.
