Beeston Railway Station Feasibility Study - Final Report
In May 2006, a study was commissioned by the Council on behalf of the Parishes of Alpraham, Beeston, Bulkeley and Ridley, Bunbury, Burwardsley, Peckforton, Spurstow, Tiverton and Tilstone Fearnall and Tarporley.
The brief for consultants was to carry out a feasibility study (including an assessment of costs and benefits) to establish demand for improved rail links which would result from the reopening of Beeston Railway Station. Scott Wilson Railways was appointed to carry out the study.
The objectives of the study were:
- To examine the possibility of reopening Beeston Railway
- To assess the implications of increased patronage of the Chester - Crewe railway line.
- To assess the potential for modal shift (car to rail) for journeys between the rural settlements along the A49 and A51 to Chester, Crewe and beyond.
- To assess the economic and commercial benefits of the proposal.
- To examine community impacts.
Scott Wilson Railways presented the Findings of the study on 6 September 2006. Please follow the link below:
