About MCRUA

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 grown so that now it has a membership of over 600 people. As well as individual membership, it is pleased to have the support of the following organsiations as members:

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 maintains this website which to give it a public face and give up-to-the-minute news. The website was first launched on Feb. 1st, 2001.

Train services on the mid-Cheshire line are operated by Northern Rail. MCRUA holds regular meetings with Northern Rail through a working party known as the Quality Improvement Team (or QIT) to examine mid Cheshire line users travel problems and to improve services.
