This morning the first section of the extension of the Churnet Valley Railway to Leek was celebrated. A train, topped and tailed by an S160 steam loco and a class 33 diesel ventured onto the newly-laid track north of Leekbrook Junction.
There is a lot of work to do yet, and funds to be raised, but the intention is to restore the line northwards as far as the town of Leek.
Well done to all who have worked hard to achieve this.
