People are taking control. They’re tuning out messages that are impersonal and interruptive and using Google to help make their next decision instead of speaking to you or your team. What's more, they’re independently minded and highly connected. If you really want to influence decisions, you need an approach that reaches and persuades the individual.

Experience – Hope Valley Public Consultation
Improving
rail journeys
in the North
Faster, more frequent services
Improving journeys
Background – investment in the Hope Valley
We 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 work
Where 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 Hub
This 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.

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 station
We 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 Lane
Work 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 Vibration
A 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 environment
A 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 transport
The 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 Loop
An 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.

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.
