What is Woodhead Line: History and Future about?
The Woodhead line was a railway route in northern England linking Sheffield, Penistone, and Manchester. A key feature was the Woodhead Tunnels passing under the Peak District moorlands. The line opened in 1845 and was later electrified in 1953, but sections were closed in the 1970s and 1980s. Today some portions remain open for passenger or freight service, while other sections have been converted to trails. The Woodhead Tunnels have taken on a cult status with railway enthusiasts.
