Welcome to the website of the....

Mid Cheshire Rail Users Association

"A voice for users of the Manchester-Stockport-Altrincham-Knutsford-Northwich-Chester
and Crewe-Hartford-Liverpool railway lines."

The Association (usually abbrieviated to MCRUA) is a rail user group with approximately 600 members. In accordance with the by-line above, it is active in representing the interests of passengers on the mid Cheshire line from Chester to Manchester and those travelling between Crewe, Hartford and Liverpool.

To further this, it

  • believes in promoting the mid Cheshire line as an integral part of the local transport infrastructure.
  • is a stakeholder in the Mid Cheshire Community Rail Partnership. See also their website on www.midcheshirerail.org.uk/
  • meets regularly with the local train operating company management, and
  • is represented on local council public transport liaison committees.

MCRUA is also strongly supportive of the proposal to reopen the Crewe-Sandbach-Northwich railway and Middlewich station to passenger trains.

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. Details are given on the appropriate webpage.

More information about our background, activities and structure is given in the 'About MCRUA' page of this website. Links to this and to all other pages are given by clicking on the link alongside the appropriate topic from the list below.
