Catching a Train to the New Leek Station | Churnet Valley Railway Heritage Open Day

Join me on a rare behind-the-scenes journey at the Churnet Valley Railway Heritage Open Day, as we explore the future of rail travel in Leek, Staffordshire. In this special event video, we board a heritage service top and tailed by steam and diesel, catching a once-in-a-lifetime ride to the brand-new temporary Leek station—a location not yet open to the public! Experience the Leek Brook Triangle in full, with not one but two complete circuits, a short run up the line toward Stoke, and a look at the Leek Brook Junction signal box. You'll also see rare lineside footage of class S160 steam locomotive 5197 powering through with some awe inspiring run-pasts, with the class 33 33102 on the rear. We hear firsthand about the ambitious plans to build a new permanent Leek railway station, reconnecting the town with its rich railway heritage and regional network. This video is packed with insights into railway restoration, heritage railway operations, and the industrial history of the Staffordshire Moorlands. Perfect for fans of UK railways, canal and transport history, and industrial geography, this is your ticket to the heart of one of the most exciting heritage railway projects in Britain today! #ChurnetValleyRailway #LeekStation #UKRailHistory #SteamTrain #HeritageRailway #IndustrialHistory #TransportGeography #RailwayRestoration Become a channel member - https://www.youtube.com/wobblyrunner/...
