Press
Release
ERTA supports reopening Peak Rail for everyday use for
passenger and freight trains, cutting congestion and giving more options for
people.
ERTA supports the
current Peak Rail initiative but wants the line reopened as well for daily
passenger and freight by rail options to work alongside steam interests. Once
part of the Midland Main Line London-Manchester artery, the line if rebuilt
would provide a handy link from the East Midlands and North West and vice
versa.
ERTA welcomes people to join its
association and help us work with others to bring about reopenings sooner than
later. It is convening a Forum in Matlock on SATURDAY 30 JUNE 1.00pm buy food
and social, 2.00 – 4.00pm business at The Crown, Crown Square, Matlock
Derbyshire, DE4 3AT. Anyone interested please contact Mr Simon Barber: T 020

Spokesperson Mr Richard Pill said “ERTA wants the route to be protected,
studied as to its merits and the case to be made for a full reopening of this
strategic rail corridor for the benefit of the wider public, lifestyle choices,
commuting, traffic congestion reduction and saving land. Population has grown,
traffic exceeds parking and we need the environmental benefits rail has to
offer.”
