Chesterfield – Stockport (EMR)

Sheffield – New Mills (Northern – to connect to train services from Buxton to Manchester).
The Hope Valley Railway Upgrade is a major rail improvement being completed by Network Rail throughout 2024. The work will provide extra track capacity and remove bottleneck areas along the route between Manchester and Sheffield.
This capacity will allow passenger trains to overtake slower moving freight trains and give more options for operators to keep customers moving should things go wrong.
