Derby Manchester Railway Feasibility

The plans to reopen the Manchester route from Matlock to Buxton seems to be gathering momentum and their members are actively promoting the project at public events. If they can attract freight as well as passengers, it looks quite a viable plan.
The passenger proposals include a combination of commercial and heritage traffic use, so here's hoping they achieve their goals.

Unfortunately some ramblers groups are trying to oppose this scheme on the narrow grounds that having a real railway back there would inconvenience them! You know who at Haddon Hall will obviously do his best to oppose it too.
