March 2014
We are still
awaiting the outcome of the negotiations between the Department for Transport
and Northern Rail regarding the proposed 22 month franchise extension from
April. The current franchise finishes at the end of this month.
Year One / Reception pupils from the Duke of Norfolk Primary School enjoyed their visits to the station last month. See pictures / Glossop Chronicle report elsewhere in this display. We thank Station and train staff for their support!
FOGS had a most interesting visit to Alstom Train Care Dept at Longsight recently. We were impressed by the care and passion shown in the maintenance of our Class 323 trains – more details on website.
The contract between the Railway Heritage Trust, Northern and FOGS to replace the two boarded up windows and return them to historically correct sash style has been signed. Work should begin shortly.
The next meeting of the High Peak and Hope Valley Community Rail Partnership will be at the Municipal Buildings, Glossop at 14.00 on Thursday 27th March. Visitors welcome.
The next Folk Train is on Thursday 27th March with Full Circle Folk Club. Please note that the 18.48 train from Piccadilly does not call at Gorton.
