the other day I just caught a news article on BBC north west about reopening a disused railway with several tunnels.

At the moment the tunnels are sealed.
The article said that the route may open sometime in 2010.

Any idea where this is ?

Sounds like the one along Cheedale, south westish from Buxton – Millers dale etc

though i favour the idea not sure if value for money – its really about tourism rather than promoting cycling as such me thinks – would rather see being spent on alternatives to for example sections of the A57

Thx for that antigee.

Might add some extra options for a night ride though

If it's anything like as successful as the existing ones (Tissington, High Peak Trail), they are pretty busy on a weekend, even in winter, and uncomfortably full of people riding / walking in the summer. They are obviously pretty popular, particularly with people with kids and people who don't cycle much, so it's great that there are going to be more of them.
