New platform at Leekbrook Junction, Staffordshire
The preserved Churnet Valley Railway operates steam and diesel (sometimes both!) locomotives to haul trains between Kingsley and Froghall Station to Cheddleton, and sometimes beyond to Ipstones. https://www.churnet-valley-railway.co.uk/
Here at Leekbrook Junction, passengers have not been allowed to leave the train, but the construction of this platform may herald a change in the facities for 2016. Some trains did for a while go ahead to Caldon Low, but more recently on one month weekend in four, trains have stopped at Ipstones, then returned.

Railway south of Leekbrook Junction, Staffordshire
Churnet Valley Railway.
The diesel locomotive is hauling the train from Ipstones, back to Froghall, having given a helpful push from behind when the little steam loco was struggling on the out journey. Ahead is Cheddleton Tunnel.

Signal box at Leekbrook Junction, Staffordshire
Looking towards Leek.
The branch of the former North Staffordshire Railway to Oakamoor was opened in 1849, but closed to passengers in 1965 and freight in 1988. The Churnet Valley Railway Company has been running steam trains between Kingsley and Froghall, Cheddleton and Leekbrook Junction, since 2001. (Services around Cheddleton and Consall were earlier). Since late 2010, an alliance with the new Moorland and City Railway Company has resulted in monthly steam weekends up to Cauldon Low.
Plans for restoring the lines from here to Stoke, and Leek are in progress.
