Cheddleton StationCheddleton StationCheddleton Station, situated on the Churnet Valley Line of the North Staffordshire Railway, was opened to both passengers and goods on September 1, 1849.The station was a quiet country station serving the needs of nearby Cheddleton village, and for a time Ipstones. As with many stations in the 1960s, passenger numbers decreased to such an extent that the station was closed to both passengers and goods in 1965. During the 1970s a railway preservation base was setup at Cheddleton station. This was later to become the base of the Churnet Valley Railway. Initially, there was a railway museum displaying artifacts relating to the North Staffordshire Railway. In 1978 the NSRS became the North Staffordshire Railway Co. (1978) Ltd and it became a charity in 1983. Later the bay platform area was acquired in 1984 and a former NSR signal box was put into use. The Churnet Valley line finally closed for sand traffic in 1988 and the NSRC jumped at the chance to purchase the line from British Rail by publicising it's share prospectus. The first passenger train to leave Cheddleton onto the mainline under CVR control left for Leek Brook station on August 24, 1996. Weather Forecast
