IN THIS VIDEO WE TAKE YOU ON A EXPLORE OF THE ABANDONED TRAIN CARRIAGES AT FROGHALL RAILWAY STATION IN STAFFORDSHIRE.
HISTORY
The North Staffordshire Railway Company (NSR) was formed in 1845 when three individual companies (The Staffordshire Potteries Railway, The Churnet Valley Railway and The Trent Valley Railway) merged and launched a Share Issue on 30th April 1845 to fund the construction of a railway network linking numerous towns of North Staffordshire together.
The prospectus outlined plans for The Pottery Line from Congleton to Colwich via Burslem and Stoke-on-Trent, and The Churnet Valley Line from Macclesfield to Uttoxeter via Leek, plus a line from Harecastle to Liverpool.
This third proposal was later shortened to cover Harecastle to Sandbach only, as part of the conditions placed upon the NSR when it absorbed the Grand Junction Railway Company’s Derby to Crewe Line that went via Uttoxeter and Stoke.
On 26th June 1846 the NSR Acts of Parliament were passed which gave the NSR permission to start construction of the three lines.
The NSR (Churnet Valley Line) Act authorised the construction of a line from North Rode to Burton-upon-Trent, with a branch from Tutbury to Willington Junction near Derby, and a line between Uttoxeter and Stoke with a capital of £1,200,00 being allocated for this.
Whilst the NSR was a relatively small railway company it became affectionately known as “The Knotty”, due to the adoption of the Staffordshire Knot as its logo on both its rolling stock and staff uniforms.
The headquarters for the company were founded at Stoke, in the heart of the smoky Potteries, with the NSR network spreading across North Staffordshire into the more scenic areas such as the valley of the River Churnet.
NSR guidebooks, produced once its network was operational, stated that Churnet meant ‘river of many windings’ which both the River Churnet and eventual line lived up to with their numerous sweeping curves.
The tender for construction of the Churnet Valley Line was let to J&S Tredwell, with construction beginning in September 1847.
The project saw one of the very first instances of a canal being closed and converted to a railway line, with the Uttoxeter section of the Cauldon Canal being shut to allow the construction of the railway from Froghall to Uttoxeter, which brought its own challenges as the NSR needed to avoid disrupting the output traffic from the works at Froghall during the period from when the canal was closed up until the railway line was formally open.
The conversion was made possible by the NSR’s previous acquisition of the Trent & Mersey Canal Company meaning there were no objections to this proposal.
Construction was completed during 1849, with the 27-¾ miles of double-track formally opening on 13th July 1849.
Stretching from North Rode, near Macclesfield, to Uttoxeter, there were several handsome station buildings built along the route to the designs of A.W. Pagin, such as those at Cheddleton, Rushton, Froghall and Oakamoor, with the one for Alton Towers being built to an more flamboyant Italianate-style for the use of the Earl of Shrewsbury who lived on the nearby estate.
Leek being the only intermediate town along the line also gained a station with a colonnade to underline its importance to the area.
Except for the conversion of the canal, there were few major engineering feats required on the line compared to some other lines, with only a selection of river bridges over the River Churnet required South of Leek and the construction of tunnels at Leek, Leek Brook, Cheddleton and Oakamoor.

That stuff clearly isn't abandoned, it's an active heritage railway. You need to be really careful on heritage railways as they still very often operate non timetabled trains 'out of season' to perform maintenance so you really shouldn't go anywhere near the tracks without someone on the railway knowing as it can be extremely dangerous.

I mean yeah the station still active as a heritage museum place but it's more the carriages that our abandoned and currently the tracks are not active as further up at leek Brook Station there re doing up the line 👍

@tomhilton3740 5 ай бұрын

It is still a functioning heritage line. My uncle is a fireman at the churnet valley railway and still operates services. They are indeed extended the railway to leek but the line is still working and services can and do operate without passengers. It’s always good to just be careful in places like this and be aware at all times. Even when looking at carriages at the end of the line where locos tend to terminate

It's not abandoned, it's run by volunteers and it's the steam trains it will probably open in March until Christmas. Like other steam train stations in the U.K..

As a heritage railway volunteer and an urban explorer, please be careful out there! Trains and limbs don't mix.. Some of those coaches look to have been vandalised already, plus there is always the possibility of asbestos..

Thanks for the advance the line is definitely out of order atm as you will see in this video when released as up track there redoing the line always advice against going onto live tracks too

No way are they abandoned but they are under preservation . You should not be there during the closed season.

@@RAZORTWISTEDEXPLORINGOFFICIAL You can see the "do not trespass on the railway" signs in the footage. There's three distinct railway trespass offences, two require that you've been warned beforehand (which can include signs). The offence does not require that the railway is "active". It's not a huge deal morally imo, but it's a step above civil trespass, and your video includes everything they'd need to prosecute, if it comes to it.

Those boilers @14:12 are really cool. To give you some idea of how old that carriage with the Lion and Wheel crest is @16:25 : 'The "ferret and dartboard" heraldic device registered with both the College of Arms and the Lyon Court. Used from 1956-68. ' Which means that the carriage must be at least 52 years old. Have to say it's not aged as well as I have, but then if I'd been dumped at the end of some siding in Staffs, I'd look far worse! lol

abandoned at a heritage railway...hmm ok. ABout 15/20 year ago were loads of them at oakamoor, might still be our report on 28DL around 2005 ,before vandals got them and the rails were ripped up..

Yeah I mean for a heritage site you would think they would have restored them to show off to general public and I saw up near Leek Brook Station they had started pulling up the track to pay down a new line

@@RAZORTWISTEDEXPLORINGOFFICIAL takes a lot of work and money to restore carraiges, and enough work to do for the ones that are in use. Don't know if those ones are for restoration, or have been used for parts for carraiges that have been restored. The boilers need major work to keep in use. In general they have a 10 year ticket for use before an expensive amount of work.
