PETER MOORE
(1936 - 2012)
Over the years, the name, Peter Moore, has been synonymous with the Clitheroe to Blackburn Line.
He was the Chairman of Ribble Valley Rail, since its formation in 1986, until his recent death.
Under his chairmanship, RVR were successful in their eight-year campaign for the re-opening of the line to passenger traffic, which had ceased in 1962.
Since the re-opening of the line in May 1994, the organisation has continued to work for improvements to the service, infrastructure and reliability.
Peter's personality, his unbounding energy and enthusiasm, enabled him to gain the ear of MPs, chief executives of local government, Regional Railways, and TOCs, most recently Northern Rail.
He was delighted when, in May 2007, the line gained Community Line status. Peter recognised the value of being part of a Community Rail Partnership as being the way forward, and his contributions were always valued.
He will be sadly missed by his many friends and colleagues in the rail industry, and beyond, and particularly by his friends in his beloved Ribble Valley Rail.
