Radio 4 report on our demonstration & Woodhead

BBC Journalist Mark Holdstock was present at our demonstration on 12th January, and he compiled a feature for Radio 4's 'You & Yours' about Woodhead and the issues surrounding it for broadcast the following week. Although the program is now offline, it has been ressurrected on YouTube, and we post this below:

Radio 4 'You & Yours' report...

...by Mark Holdstock is audible from this page on the BBC Radio 4 website for the next 7 days. If you listen to the full programme, the Woodhead report starts at about 44 minutes into the show.

Demonstration update - media frenzy!

The samba band is confirmed, the messages of support are coming in from all over, and we hope the turnout will be high (or as high as possible for a 12 mile round trip!).

We have also had queries from many media organisations, including:

BBC 'Look North'
Channel M
Manchester Evening News/Guardian Media Group

In addition, BBC Radio 4's 'You & Yours' will be present, and are specifically looking to interview people who recall travelling on the line or better still worked on the line. Is this you? If so, please get in touch.
