This year Mid Cheshire CRP will be going all out to celebrate Railway 200.

2025 marks the 200th anniversary of the modern railway. A British innovation that’s continued its journey across the globe. Through a year-long series of activities and events, Railway 200 will explore how rail shaped Britain and the world. And, as today’s railway modernises and gears up for growth, Railway 200 will also look to the future, encouraging more people to take the train and inviting the next generation of pioneering talent to join the railway and become the history-makers of tomorrow.

In February we held a planning meeting at The Golden Pheasant in Plumley to discuss how we can celebrate Railway 200 along the Mid Cheshire Line. The volunteers came up with some fantastic ideas including themed bunting for stations and using the Railway 200 colours of red, white and black for station planting schemes.

We also have a number of larger projects planned to mark this important centenary; more details will be posted here soon.
