The Don Valley Railway Project

Article posted: Sunday 1 February, 2009

Born in the Autumn of 2003 when a local man (David Goodison) brought together a like-minded group of people who wished to see the local branch railway line brought into full use to provide passenger services to and from Sheffield.

A “not for profit” company, limited by guarantee, and a registered charity, the Don Valley Railway Project will see:

  • The re-opening of passenger services on the branch line, under a Heritage rail scheme
  • The running of Steam traction, especially at weekends and during Public Holidays
  • The provision of park and ride facilities wherever possible along the line
  • The establishment, in conjunction with others, of a living museum
  • Engineering workshops at Deepcar providing training opportunities to young people
  • Stations/Halts at Stocksbridge, Deepcar, Wharncliffe Side, Oughtibridge and Wadsley Bridge with the possibility of news stations for the Ski Village and Sheffield

The project has clear definition and the support of local bodies & more importantly of Sheffield City Council, the South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive and Yorkshire Forward.
