Mid-Cheshire Rail Users Association

The Mid-Cheshire Rail Users Association (MCRUA) was formed in 1987 to support users of the Manchester - Stockport - Altrincham - Knutsford - Northwich - Chester Railway Line, usually known as the Mid-Cheshire Line. The Association has a membership of over 600 people.

Whilst the primary reason for MCRUA's existence was the Mid-Cheshire Line, it now also represents users of the Crewe and Hartford to Liverpool services.

It is also strongly supportive of the efforts of the Middlewich Rail Link Campaign to reopen Middlewich station and provide a passenger train service through to Manchester and Crewe. The Association is also well known for the popular excursion trains it has run for some years on its own or in association with other groups.

MCRUA produces a newsletter, the 'Mid-Cheshire Rail Report', three or four times a year to keep its members informed. It usually runs to ten pages with news of MCRUA activities, happenings on the mid-Cheshire lines and other railway related information. In addition MCRUA has a website which gives it a public face and shares up-to-the-minute news.

The groups listed in the 'Local campaigning' section have supplied text about themselves. Campaign for Better Transport cannot take responsibility for the accuracy of this text, and does not necessarily share the views expressed.
