The local magazine, Dronfield Eye, published a number of letters expressing concern at the ludicrous train “service” currently provided at Dronfield Rail Station in 2006.  The  instigator of the debate, Dr Peter Hayward has enlisted  the support of the local MP, Natasha Engel, local councillorsand officers of the Public Transport Unit at Derbyshire County Council.

 Anyone who travels regularly into Sheffield and Chesterfield will know just how much congestion on the roads has relentlessly increased year by year.  Driving on the motorways is frequently a nightmare. Its good to see that a lot of local people are supporting this attempt to improve our rail service

The “Friends of Dronfield Station” the local Action Group set up as a result is holding its inaugural General meeting on Friday 28th September at 7.30 in the Dronfield Civic Hall.

I have recently become Dronfield Town Council’s representative on the Action Group
