Churnet Valley Railway General Discussion

I've done it from Stoke - bus from the station to Hanley bus station, bus to Cheddleton, then walk down the hill. Not the simplest or quickest, and about a mile uphill from the station afterwards as well isn't ideal.

 

An alternative option is you can walk down the canal towpath which skirts Cheddleton village and also meets up with the road at The Flintlock, which is conveniently close to a bus stop. It's a similar distance walk but avoids the steep hill.

I did the same journey you describe many times from Stoke station when volunteering.

TRUSTPILOT COMMENT FROM YESTERDAY'S BORDERS EXPLORER DAY - WELL DONE TO EVERYONE INVOLVED!!!



A superb experience well worth every penny and more besides. For anyone interested in the workings and political machinations of running a heritage railway this is a must. As well as a first rate breakfast the ongoing commentary by the Director himself was highly informative. The runpasts offered a chance to see a steam engine working hard from ground level. Not had as much fun since Bulawayo in 1991... Thank you. Other heritage railways would do well to copy this idea.
