People point out that journey times for @PeaksDalesRail can't match West Coast Mainline. True, but look at Chiltern. Peaks&Dales would do for London/Derby/Manchester what Chiltern does so well for London/Birmingham. Far better than today's poor East Midlands times to Manchester.

Being grounded with COVID has its upsides: I bought Adrian Shooter’s book when it was first published in 2022 but have only made the time to read it today. It’s a great read, and shows what can be done on our railway when given appropriate incentives and freedom to operate

Yes, the 2nd TfN transport strategy could add £118bn for 16 million in the region. if @PeaksDalesRail added £20bn for 9 million people, that's the size of Derbyshire's economy. @MEMRAP1 says we are a buyer! @BBradley_Mans @ClaireWard4EM @MattRelf

@MEMRAP1 Closing the rundown @GreatCentralRly mainline to London in 1966 only saved £950k per annum. I can't believe closing Matlock to Great Rocks Junction 14 months later saved even that.
