Friends of Dronfield Station Bringing back the trains, the people...and the pride! See FriendsofDronfieldStation.org.uk for more! We are actively supported by Derbyshire County Council.

FoDS are a group of people whose aim is to get more services on more days from Dronfield railway station by promoting it and lobbying central government (the Department for Transport) and the train operating companies. Our members include representatives of North East Derbyshire District Council, Dronfield Town Council and the Civic Society. It also has the full support of our local MP Natascha Engel; indeed it was she who brought us together by calling a public meeting. New members are most welcome at any time.

Northern has put out the following:
Reduced train plan in place for extreme weather:
'Due to extreme heat across our network and an amber weather warning in place, we are putting a reduced train plan in place for Thursday 13 August. These changes are being put in place to maintain reliable operations, keep trains that are running operating efficiently, and keep customers on the move as much as possible.

We’ll be reducing the number of trains running on routes across our Northern network...if a customer has a Northern ticket booked for travel on an affected route they have some flexibility to use the ticket on other services or if they cannot travel today because of the extreme heat, the ticket may be used to travel on Friday or Saturday instead.'

FRIENDS OF DRONFIELD STATION
We are a group of community volunteers who like to style the station as a pleasant and warm welcome to Dronfield. We also campaign for improvements to our local railway services and transport links.
As you can see, the station is looking beautiful because of the efforts of our volunteers, and we have entered East Midlands in Bloom, so wish us luck!
We also support Ashgate Hospice.
