How do you solve a problem like the Woodhead?

SWT run competition to find a solution to re-opening the Woodhead Tunnel

Our campaign has been running for a year now. We've made a case for the importance of the line and government have now acknowledged the Woodhead Tunnel needs maintaining.

But what should a re-opened Woodhead line look like, how should it operate?
Over to you!

We're running a public competition to find the best solution. Do you favour a high speed line, local stopping services, trams or a lorry shuttle. We want your ideas!
