Background – investment in the Hope ValleyWe consulted on previous plans to improve the railway in the Hope Valley in November 2013 and collected valuable feedback from the local community.

In November 2013, our plans included building new track near Grindleford station. Since then, the rail industry has reviewed the timetable requirements for the route and has decided there is a need for three fast passenger trains per hour. The previous requirement of four fast trains per hour meant we had to build the new track at Grindleford. Now that the scope has changed, we don’t have to pursue this option and can avoid the environmental impacts highlighted as significant concerns in the previous consultation.

The plans for works at Dore and Totley Station and at Dore South Curve remain largely unchanged from what we consulted on in 2013. We are now seeking the views of the local community on the current proposals.

Consent for the workWhere we are proposing to use land or build outside of the established boundary of the railway, we will submit an application for a Transport and Works Act Order (TWAO) to the Secretary of State for Transport.

Some of the improvements, including work at Dore & Totley station, will take place within the boundaries of Network Rail’s land and will not be included in the Transport and Works Act Order.

An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) will consider all aspects of the Scheme, whether part of the TWAO or not.

The Northern HubThis scheme forms a key part of our £1 billion Northern Hub programme – aimed at transforming the railway in the north of England. This investment will deliver faster, more frequent services and help stimulate economic growth by improving connectivity between key towns and cities.

We’re planning to improve sections of railway in the Hope Valley, close to Dore & Totley station, Bamford and Hathersage. This investment is aimed at allowing passenger services to overtake slower moving freight and stopping passenger trains.

This will improve services on the route between Manchester and Sheffield by creating extra capacity, improving frequencyand improving reliability.

January 2015

Next stepsWhere we are proposing to use land or build outside of the established boundary of the railway, we will prepare an application for these particular elements of the Scheme and apply for a Transport and Works Act Order (TWAO) to the Secretary of State for Transport.

To inform the Scheme design, we’re consulting with the public, stakeholders and our colleagues in the rail industry. The feedback submitted to us, along with a range of other factors, will be reported on as part of the Transport and Works Act Order application and will help inform the detail of the final Scheme.

The plans at Dore

Since we consulted in November 2013 our plans for the railway near Dore & Totley station have remained largely in line with those originally proposed.

We want to extend the existing Dore South Curve railway line, between West View Lane and Dore West Junction, to allow fast passenger trains to overtake slower freight services. A second track through Dore & Totley station will be created and a new platform constructed. This will be accessed by a new footbridge and lifts.

Construction at Dore & Totley stationWe will need to clear vegetation and excavate in the area to lay the new track. This will include changes the slope down to the track between Westview Lane and Twentywell Lane. We propose to set up the main site compound within an area of Network Rail’s land and accessed from Twentywell Lane. Construction will take place in various phases, including:

• setting up site compounds and temporary site access points at West View Lane (small compound and track access) and Twentywell Lane (main site compound)

• excavating the existing embankment from the track side to make space for the new track

• laying new track and associated infrastructure

• constructing a new permanent track access at West View Lane

• constructing a new platform and footbridge with lifts at Dore & Totley station

• replacing the track bridge over the River Sheaf just west of Dore & Totley station to allow another section of track to be built.

The plans at Bamford and Hathersage

Grindleford was proposed in November 2013 as the best place to build a new passing loop and it remains the optimum site from an engineering point of view, as it creates the biggest uplift in capacity. Now that the scope has changed however, we don’t have to pursue this option and can avoid the environmental impacts highlighted in the previous consultation.

We now propose to build a 1km passing loop between Bamford station and Jaggers Lane bridge, near Hathersage. This will allow more trains to run and improve reliability of services. This new solution has the benefit of generating fewer construction impacts than would have been necessary at Grindleford. In addition to this, the new plans do not impinge on any ancient woodland.

Construction between Bamford and Jaggers LaneWork to build the new track will be delivered on a phased basis, including:

• setting up site compounds and temporary track access points

• modifying railway embankments and cuttings

• piling and abutment works to the bridges leading to Cunliffe House and Thorpe Farm.

• improvements to two culverts to facilitate track widening.

• undertaking groundworks to improve drainage

• laying stone ballast and new tracks

The environment

An Environmental Impact Assessment for our work at Dore & Totley has been undertaken. The main findings include:

Noise and VibrationA detailed noise survey of the area predicting the impact we will have on the local community during construction and when the railway is in operation. We are predicting at times lineside residents will experience disturbance from our construction works. We are committed to working with the local authority in forming a legal agreement on best practice in terms of reducing predicted noise from construction and hence the effects of disturbance and communicating regularly and effectively with the local community. A noise insulation and re-housing policy will be implemented in line with the established guidance standard for disturbance caused by construction works.

Historic environmentA full assessment of all heritage assets in the area has been conducted and we do not anticipate any excavation works limited to the rail corridor will have a significant effect on known assets.

Traffic and transportThe vast majority of the materials required will be delivered to site by train to avoid impacting on the local road infrastructure and in all we are not predicting to have a significant effect on the road network during construction activity. There may be some temporary minor access alterations at Twentywell Lane and West View Lane but access will be maintained at all times.

We do not expect there to be an effect on the public right of way near Twentywell Lane and the project commits to maintaining this route though there may be temporary alterations to it during the construction stage. There is no predicted impact on the road network during the operation of the new scheme.

Landscape The project is contained within the railway corridor, mostly in deep cutting so visual intrusion are not considered to be significant during construction. We have selected a soil nailed solution at the southern extent of the scheme in preference to constructing a concrete retaining wall that results in a more natural appearance. The works at Dore Station including a new platform and footbridge are in keeping with the current rail environment.

Ecology and conservation We have conducted comprehensive tree surveys using a tree specialist and will need to remove some trees and vegetation next to the railway at specification points – but not general removal of trees.

We will protect the River Sheaf and Totley Brook, employing best practice to prevent any pollution entering the watercourses. The project will put together a project-specific Pollution Prevention and Incident Control Plan that will be agreed with the local authority. Bat activity in the area but we do not anticipate any requirement for a licence in relation to our work. We are, however, committed to working with interested stakeholders in providing an element of enhancement, probably in the form of habitat addition.

We will not conduct any de-vegetation in the bird nesting season and to compensate for the local loss of potential breeding habitat we commit to working locally to replace this loss. Our work will also be carefully managed to avoid any impacts on reptiles have found to be living in the local area.

Bamford to Jaggers Lane LoopAn environmental study is also being undertaken on the proposal for the new passing loop from Bamford to Jaggers Lane. The final Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) will inform the detail of the planning application to be submitted to the Secretary of State as part of the TWAO application around how we deliver the project. It will include a detailed study of potential effects of the proposed railway and its construction on the local area, such as:

• visual and landscape

• noise and air quality

• ecology and wildlife

• socio-economic impacts

• heritage

The investment in the Hope Valley will require some areas of vegetation to be removed in local woodland. We will be working with the Peak District National Park Authority, Derbyshire County Council, Derbyshire Dales Council and Sheffield City Council and will be seeking their advice on appropriate mitigation measures.

Have your say.Public Consultation: Hope Valley Improvement Scheme


Network Rail is planning to improve sections of railway in the Hope Valley, close to Dore & Totley station, Bamford and Hathersage. This investment is aimed at allowing passenger services to overtake slower moving freight and stopping passenger trains.

This will improve services on the route between Manchester and Sheffield by:

• creating extra capacity

• improving frequency

• improving reliability

Our previous consultation events in 2013 looked at proposed work in Grindleford and Dore. Since then, the project has moved on with refreshed plans at Dore and an improved option between Bamford and Jaggers Lane, which is a replacement for what was previously proposed at Grindleford.
