Churnet Valley Railway description
Commercial Venue
Medium (1-150)
Parliamentary approval for the North Staffordshire Railway (NSR) was given in 1846. Opened on 13 July 1849 the route went from North Rode to Uttoxeter a distance of 27¾ miles. Four passenger trains a day were run initially. There were many visitors to the attractions on the line which were Rudyard Lake, Alton Towers and Uttoxeter Racecourse.
Freight traffic on the railway included livestock, farm produce, copper and sand from Oakamoor. In 1923 NSR became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway.
Closure of the section from North Rode to Leek came in June 1964. The service between Leek and Uttoxeter lasted slightly longer until January 1965. Goods traffic continued, transporting sand from the quarry at Oakamoor to Pilkington Glass in St. Helens, Merseyside, this stopped in 1988 resulting in complete closure of the line.
