The Churnet Valley Railway
The Churnet Valley Railway is based at Cheddleton and currently runs steam and historic diesel trains between Leek Brook Junction and Oakamoor. It has stations at Cheddleton, Consall and Froghall. Eventually, the line will be extended south-east to Alton and northward into Leek and will be rejoined to the Stoke to Caldon Low line, when that is reinstated. The line is a remnant of the North Staffordshire Railway, known as "The Knotty", built through the valley in the 1840s.
