Moorland & City Railway Heritage Railway Extension Into Leek Summary Report September 2013 Moorland & City Railway Heritage Railway Extension into Leek September 2013 Moorland & City Railway Heritage Railway Extension into Leek Summary Report September 2013 Moorland & City Railway Heritage Railway Extension into Leek September 2013 TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Numbers Section 1 Introduction 1 Section 2 The Project 2 Section 3 Market Summary 7 Section 4 Summary Economic Assessment 15 Section 5 Conclusions 23 Moorland & City Railway Heritage Railway Extension into Leek September 2013 1 Introduction Background 1.1 This Summary Report has been prepared by the Leisure Consultancy in association with Mott MacDonald and reviews the strategic context and market potential that could be optimised by the heritage rail development planned by Moorland and City Railway (MCR). It also encompasses the views of key consultees including representatives of: Churnet Valley Railway; Staffordshire Moorlands District Council; Visit High Peak and Derbyshire DMO; and Team Tourism. The Summary Report concludes with the likely economic benefits that could be derived from the development proposals. 1.2 In this section of the report, we firstly comment on the development proposals before outlining the report structure. Proposed Development 1.3 MCR was established to “purchase, renovate and return commercial freight to the Stoke on Trent – Cauldon Low rail route”. Linked to these key objectives are MCR’s tourist related plans which are to: provide direct access to Alton Towers; to re-connect Leek to the national rail network (the focus of this report) ; and to support the extension of the Churnet Valley Railway (CVR), one of the most popular heritage railways presently operating in the Midlands. 1.4 The CVR has already benefited from the plans of MCR utilising the extended valley route linking Cheddleton, Consall and Frogall to take in the Cauldon branch (which has been brought back into use by MCR), with the overall trip now extending to a round trip of 26 miles. 1.5 As we understand it, MCR’s intention is to secure the planned rail development/extension through cross funding with a residential development at Leebrook for which planning consent is to be sought. This Summary Report will form part of the supporting material for a planning application, presently being assembled by Capita. Format of the Summary Report 1.6 Cognisant of the foregoing our Summary Report is set out as follows: Section 2 The Project Section 3 Market Summary Section 4 Summary Economic Assessment Section 5 Conclusions 1 Moorland & City Railway Heritage Railway Extension into Leek July 2013 2 The Project Introduction 2.1 In this section of our Summary Report we provide the rationale underpinning the development proposals and comment on the proposed facilities. We also review the strategic location of the site and consider relevant strategies and policies which provide the context to the development proposals. The Proposals and Rationale for Development 2.2 The proposals comprise three elements namely: Extension of the railway which would be approximately ¾ mile A new, purpose built station in Leek which would be located in an accessible and prominent position in Leek A residential development on surplus railway land at Leebrook 2.3 As noted earlier, this latter element is fundamental to providing the new railway infrastructure as it will cross fund the railway proposals. Importantly, the new sub-section would “connect” Leek to the MCR/CVR network bringing with it a number of important benefits which can be summarised as follows: Provide a new terminus for CVR heritage steam services Provide a new terminus for MCR commercial services to Stoke, Alton Towers, The Churnet Valley and the Cauldon line Act as a catalyst to stimulate regeneration in the area, most particularly in respect of the Cornhill development which, as noted in the Draft Churnet Valley Masterplan (DCVM) “has been a focus for the Council for a number of years”. As highlighted in the DCVM, this area has the potential to create employment and leisure development, noting the assets of the railway and canal – land availability combined with the MCR/CVR railway development plans are supportive in this respect 2.4 The overall rationale underpinning the development proposals therefore is to develop the heritage railway which will be a more significant “attractor” in the area, potentially widening its catchment which in turn will add to the visitor economy, creating jobs and spend. The proposals will also have a material impact on Leek, connecting it to the other tourist “honeypots” with the added benefit of extending visitor dwell times. The proposals also have a commercial rationale linking services to Stoke and other areas as well as “kick-starting” regeneration activity in the Cornhill area. 2 Moorland & City Railway Heritage Railway Extension into Leek September 2013 Location & Linkages 2.5 The following map illustrates the route of the railway and highlights its strategic location in relation to other settlements in the area. It also shows the central position of Leek in respect of the Council area and illustrates the connectivity that could be achieved through the development proposals. Development Site 2.6 The proposed railway extension into Leek would follow the line of the disused railway track. It has potential to act as a catalyst to development around the new station that would be built (as noted earlier). The station would be located on vacant land that was previously used for employment uses 3 Moorland & City Railway Heritage Railway Extension into Leek September 2013 and, as part of the Cornhill/Barnfields proposals forms part of a wider Masterplan for mixed-use development extending westwards towards the canal and the River Churnet. 2.7 Images of the site for the new Leek Station are shown below. Site for proposed Barnfield development, the station would be located on the other side of the site, the trees mark the line of the railway Vehicular access to the site and station would be formed from the existing turning circle Strategies and Policies of Relevance 2.8 Having commented on the rationale for the development proposals, the development site and its strategic location, in this section we briefly comment on a number of strategies and policies which also provide the context for the proposed rail development. These include the following: Visit England – A Strategic Framework for Tourism 2010-2020 Visit England – Wise Growth Action Plan 2010-2020 Visit Peak District and Derbyshire – Tourism Strategic Framework 2011-2014 Staffordshire Moorlands Tourism Study – 2011 Churnet Valley Accessibility and Connectivity Study - 2011 Draft Churnet Valley Masterplan (Staffordshire Moorlands Local Development Framework – July 2013 4 Moorland & City Railway Heritage Railway Extension into Leek September 2013 2.9 In the following table we briefly comment on each of these strategies. Strategy Context Visit England – A The Framework notes that tourism is worth £97bn a year to the economy and, Strategic Framework for although operating below capacity, suggests that the potential for growth is Tourism 2010-2020 significant. The Vision identified in the Strategy is “to maximise tourism’s (revised edition 2011) contribution to the economy, employment and quality of life in England” and this is underpinned by 4 objectives and a number of action plans, one of which is Wise Growth – noted below. The economic value of tourism is clearly stated and this has particular resonance with MCR’s proposals to facilitate extension of the heritage rail provision in Staffordshire Visit England – A Acknowledging the economic role of tourism, this Action Plan notes the need to Strategic Framework for balance growth to provide sustainability ensuring that a co-ordinated approach is Tourism 2010-2020 taken to tourism development thereby achieving the best outcomes, economically, (revised edition 2011 – socially and environmentally. Viability is one of the underlying principles providing Wise Growth Action Plan jobs for local people and optimising visitor spend in the local community. MCR’s proposals would contribute to the local community in terms of jobs and spend whilst also benefiting the area from an environmental perspective, providing an alternative to car borne access and linking attractions together Visit Peak District and The Framework argues that there is a need to remain competitive in terms of cost Derbyshire – Tourism and value for money, whilst offering visitors a great experience. Future Strategic Framework development in the area should focus on growing the arts, culture and heritage 2011-2014 markets, and continued product development is required to keep people visiting. In terms of sectors, the MCR proposals will contribute to developing the heritage offer in the area in order to attract new visitors and retain existing ones Staffordshire Moorlands The underlying aim of the study was to review the role and impact of the visitor Tourism Study - 2011 economy and consider opportunities for economic growth both in the Churnet Valley and wider district. Part of the report looked at Product Development within which a number of “Transformational projects” were identified, one of which related to development of the Churnet Valley and Moorland and City Railways. The report noted the likely stages of rail development to: Stoke; Alton Towers, Leek and Waterhouses and the positive impact on visitor numbers that these planned developments could make. Growth in visitor numbers, creating physical and thematic linkages (e.g. Leek and Alton

  • 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

  • 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.

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.

  • Press Information
    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.
