    Attractions in Staffordshire

    Attractions in Staffordshire The border between Stafordshire and Derbyshire is the River Dove so only a few hundred yards awa. It runs north to south. Below is a modified copy of the index to the folder normally found in the cottages full of 40 leaflets of attractions in Staffordshire . I have deleted some of the listings in the index as I consider it is unlikely they will be opening by the time of your stay, but others that are for time being closed, I have kept in as I am guessing there is a chance they might open up. Some of the attractions have been open throughout the lockdown (eg Manifold Valley, others are opening up in July and I have indicated those whose administrators have given no indication of when they are opening up. I have also added the web site details in view of their being no leaflets as such in the cottage. I have also removed listings of some leaflets that are generic. 1) Manifold Valley Visitor Centre 3 minutes drive time away; well recommended www.derbyshire-peakdistrict.co.uk/manifoldvalleyvisitorcentre.htm 2) Manifold Valley 2k away www.cressbrook.co.uk/features/manifold.php 3) Peak Wildlife park (18 minutes) open www.peakwildlifepark.co.uk 4) Kingsley Bird and Falconry Centre –only open for booked experiences, that’s always the case, but not open at moment. http://kingsleyfalconry.co.uk/ 5) Leek Architectural Trail (Leek is not fancy but architecturally decidedly interesting!) 6) Nicholson Museum and Art Gallery (in Leek) 7) Brindley Mill (far side of Leek) – closed www.brindleysmill.co.uk/ 8) Churnet Valley

    PRESERVED COACHING STOCK OF BRITISH RAILWAYS October/November 2002 AMENDMENT SHEET NUMBER 59 SPECIAL AND CHARTER TRAIN COACHING STOCK A) WESSEX TRAINS The loan of Mark 1 RBR 1659 to the Mid-Hants Railway has now ceased, its place being taken by the Mid- Hants Railways own RBR 1961. Initially RBR 1659 has moved to the Lancastrian Carriage & Wagon Company premises at Heysham for attention. It will then join the other of the companies mainline carriages based at Old Oak Common. B) RIVIERA TRAINS The company has leased a further nine vehicles from HSBC Rail (UK), these are Mark 2Es TSOs 5773, 5905 and BSO 9503 and Mark 2Fs RRB 1260, TSOs 5976, 6064, 6067, 6157 and BSO 9520. All retain Virgin Trains livery but the branding is being removed prior to use. This brings the total Mark 2DEF leased to twenty- eight carriages. Mark 2F RFB 1200 that has already been painted in the companies Oxford Blue & Cream livery has now been named ‘AMBER’. Mark 1 FK 13227 and Mark 2A TSOs 5331, 5381 and 5386 previously based at Crewe have been taken out of service and stored.

    The Railcar Association Bulletin January 2013

    The Railcar Association Bulletin January 2013 Introduction Understandably there are a few less contributions in the news section this edition, as many have been busy over the lead up to Christmas and New Year, your editor has balanced this slightly with a meatier-than-usual report from their own railway! There is also plenty in the gallery section to view showing our steeds in action over 2012. Thank you to everyone who took part in the “Railcar of the Year” award, and congratulations to a certain single coach vehicle which won. It was interesting to see that four of the five of the nominations were single units, a sign of the continued popularity of these useful and self contained vehicles. Hopefully 2013 will bring good fortune to all those involved in the DMU movement. The year ahead looks to be just as exciting as ever with several vehicles tipped for a return to traffic, including one which should allow us to ride on its class for the first time since the 1990’s. It is pleasing to see another DMU event join the calendar this year, at the Ecclesbourne Valley during August. It will be the first time since the 2009 railcar convention that their extensive fleet will all be in action at once, so will be an event not to be missed. 2013 Convention The organisers are requesting expressions of interest for the driver experiences, including preferences for the 117, 122 or both. Please send responses to Ian Butler. The group already have five takers but really would welcome more feedback on what people want to do e.g.

    PRESERVED COACHING STOCK OF BRITISH RAILWAYS AMENDMENT SHEET NUMBER 120 June/July/August 2013 Amendment Sheets – the future Further to Amendment Sheet 117, all Amendment Sheets published so far are now available on the RCTS website at http://www.rcts.org.uk/ or direct http://www.rcts.org.uk/features/preservedcoaches/ Also now added at the same location are downloadable pdf files of updated versions of ‘Preserved Coaching Stock of British Railways part one – BR Design Stock’ and ‘Preserved Coaching of British Railways part two – Grouping Design Stock’. Consequently, these will not normally now be available as printed documents from me. It is the intention that these pdf files will be replaced with more up to date versions periodically. Notification of any errors, corrections, or updates is welcomed. MYSTERIOUS CARRIAGES!!! Two unidentified Mark 2s at Tyseley Locomotive Works – Visitors to recent Open Days at Tyseley Locomotive Works have reported that the high level ‘coaling stage’ sidings contain three tarpaulined over Mark Two carriages. Access to closely examine these carriages in order to establish the identity has not been permitted and enquiries made at the time as to the identities have drawn a blank. Subsequent enquiries made of those whom should know, have ranged from an admission that only one is present and its identity is not known to a total unwillingness to help. One of the three is clearly BFK 14090-17090 which is considered to be part of the Vintage Trains fleet and not covered by these sheets. One of the others carries the chalked number 5420 on one end.

    12 February 2019 PRESS INFORMATION For immediate publication A BUMPER YEAR FOR HRA AWARDS Saturday February 9th saw the celebrations surrounding the Heritage Railway Association’s 2019 annual awards. At a gala dinner in the Burlington Hotel, Birmingham, attendees were entertained by guest speaker Pete Waterman, prior to an awards ceremony that recognised the very best of the UK’s heritage rail industry. The HRA Awards recognise a wide range of achievements and distinctions across the entire heritage railway industry, and the awards acknowledge individuals and institutions as well as railways, tramways and cliff railways. The February 9th event saw the presentation of awards in record 15 categories, which includes one completely new award. Several categories saw a record number of nominees, and in one case, joint winners. The Statfold Barn Railway won the Morton’s Media (Heritage Railways) Interpretation Award, for their outstanding museum of international narrow gauge railways, and repository of information and artefacts relating to the Hunslet engine. The Railway Magazine Annual Award for Services to Railway Preservation was won by John Bate of the Talyllyn Railway, quite possibly the world’s longest-serving heritage rail volunteer, and whose skills have made a unique contribution to railway preservation. The NER 1903 Electric Autocar Trust won double honours. The Trust took the Morton’s Media (Rail Express) Modern Traction Award, for their restoration of the pioneering 1903 NER Autocar, the first railway vehicle to combine an internal combustion engine with a generator and traction motors, and thus the forerunner of all modern trains. Underlining their achievement, the Trust also won the Heritage Railway Association Manisty Award, one of the heritage rail industry’s most prestigious awards, which acknowledges an outstanding contribution to railway preservation.
