Milk churns return - Page 02
ANNOUNCEMENT LIKELY IN BUDGET AT THE END OF THE MONTH Stocksbridge to Sheffield City Centre in eleven minutes. That’s the plan. Don Valley Railway, the campaign organisation aiming to bring passenger trains on the freight line to Stocksbridge understand that an announcement regarding the potential development of a full business case review will be made on 27th October as part of the Government’s Spending Review. This will include funding for the Rail Development Plan which includes schemes being developed as part of the Restoring Your Railway initiative to which a bid has been submitted by South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority for trains to Stocksbridge.

The proposal, much delayed because of the Pandemic was originally submitted in March 2020 before re-submission the following year. Now supporters of the scheme eagerly await its conclusions. Proposals could see the re-opening of the former Victoria Station along with possible stops at Wadsley Bridge, Oughtibridge and Deepcar. Don Valley Railway representatives will be attending consultations on the Towns Fund in Stocksbridge on 16th and 23rd October and be available for information. The Department for Transport has launched a £500 million Restoring Your Railway Fund back in late 2019. MPs, local councils and community groups across England and Wales were invited to propose how they could use

funding to reinstate axed local services and restore stations. The funding will be split in 3 ways to offer support to projects at different phases of development: Miriam Cates MP for Stocksbridge and Penistone sponsored the bid which is widely supported across the area, specifying the train services sought. Funding has already been secured to bring back services on the Barrow Hill Line and this too may utilise the currently redundant Victoria Station adding capacity to Sheffield rail network and it may be possible to run cross-city services from the Upper Don Valley across to the eastern side of Sheffield.
