A Community Engagement App For The Hope Valley Line Upgrade

The Hope Valley Line Upgrade has its own web site.

This is the sub-heading.

We’re upgrading the railway between Manchester and Sheffield to provide more reliable and faster journeys for passengers

The first paragraph gives the project timeline.

The project started in Spring 2021 and is due to be completed in Spring 2024.

There is also a section, that is entitled Community Engagement, where this is said.

Communication is very important to us and we will be writing to local residents with plenty of notice before work starts, as well as holding public engagement events throughout the project to keep the local community informed on its progress.

For regular updates on the main improvement work, you can also download the Hope Valley Railway Upgrade community engagement app, which will contain details of upcoming work activities, news, and initiatives and events for the local community.

That is new territory for Network Rail or at least the first time, I’ve seen one.

Until proven otherwise, it looks like it could be a good idea.
