Churnet Valley Railway Churnet Valley Railway/Moorlands
And City Railway Permanent Way
By Neil Higginson
![Page 20: Full Test #2](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042604/568c49971a28ab491694c149/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Here in North Staffordshire, England is the Churnet Valley Railway, an 8 1/2 mile long heritage line. This is
connected to the Moorlands and City Railway, a new project to connect the Moorland District with the network
mainline at Stoke on Trent. These lines were last used by passenger trains in the early 1960's and by freight in the
1980's.
They were then mothballed until the North Staffordshire Railway company bought the track from Leekbrook Jn to
Oakamoor in 1996.

Extensive track renovation has taken place with
many track panels completely replaced, and 1000s
of sleepers (ties) replaced due to the damp track
bed. Our permanent way gang is totally voluntary,
mainly being golden oldies (me being an exception).
The MCR line from Leekbrook Jn-Cauldon Lowe was
completed in 2010, and work is underway to renew
the line from Leekbrook Jn-Stoke on Trent as we
speak.
There are many varied duties to perform on the
Permanent Way gang, from track renewal to weed
killing, crossing replacement to drain clearing. It’s
not always the easiest of jobs, but it’s a very
satisfying one to watch trains roll by when it’s done.
We have acquired a mobile tool van to help us out
on our endeavours, a Permaquip 4wd to get us to
where our tasks take us. It also helps to eat our
lunch in the dry, as its often raining up on the
moors. All people working on the railway, be it on
the national rail system (Network Rail) or on a
railway like ours are required to wear orange hi-
visibility kit at all times. Safety is priority number one
for us.

Professional rail contractors have been brought in
from time to time with their time-saving (and labour
saving too) machinery such as tampers and sleeper
changers. These will have to be hired in again as the
Stoke on Trent line needs much upgrading. Over
5000 sleepers will have to be changed, and many
chairs replaced, as well as lineside fencing, signalling
cable and bridge/crossing/ station infrastructure
restored/replaced.
Once finished, the line into the quarry at Cauldon
Lowe can be extended into the premises, and
cement brought out to various UK destinations.
Freight will also be taken into Cauldon Lowe, as their
power station burns green energy sources, imported
by rail. The revenue generated by this will allow a
further line from Leekbrook Jn to Leek to be
reopened, and also a link to Alton Towers, Britain's
biggest theme park, to be reopened from
Oakamoor. An hourly passenger service is planned
from Leek to Stoke, and in season trains
