In the late 60s British Rail axed a 20-mile stretch of railway line through the Peak District. Five years ago the overgrown line was forgotten by all but a few dedicated enthusiasts. Nobody can now remember who first suggested rebuilding the railway, but this seemingly impossible dream fired the imagination of a group of local people who are slowly proving to the sceptics that they have both the expertise and the will to see it through. Ex-train drivers, housewives, accountants, company directors, unemployed musicians, Peak Rail are turning out every week to rebuild and run a railway which everyone said was lost for ever.
