RECONNECTING WOODHEAD: RAILS ACROSS WOODHEAD -- TRANSPENNINE CONNECTIVITY TRANSFORMED
Presentation by the 'Re-open the Woodhead Line group'
7.30pm, Thursday 21 March 2013
Glossop Labour Club, Chapel Street Glossop
Matching the government's welcome new strategic thinking for railways with some strategic thinking of our own for Woodhead. The elephant in the room is as always Britain's carbon targets and the need for a paradigm-shift from roads to rails.
Anyone is welcome to attend, from rail buffs to environments and those concerned with local issues.
For those with an interest in where transport policy may be going, mainly but not entirely with a focus on Woodhead.
Chaired by Ro-open the Woodhead Line chair David Bryson, featuring presentations from and Q&A with Christopher Quayle a civil engineer with experience of the rail industry.
Bar open from 7 pm, presentations at 7.30pm. Interval at 8.30p, 9.30pm end time.
