Reconnect Leek
The biggest project that always get mentioned - re-opening to the market town of Leek. First mentioned in the 1970s, we are now the closest we have ever been to succeeding in this endeavour. You can play your part by joining the NSRC's own Leek Scheme to help with the finance in the extension or just a make a single one-off donationLeek Coach Appeal
With the Churnet Valley Railway's extension into Leek nearing ever closer, it has been acknowledged that the current fleet of passenger carrying vehicles will be insufficient for the expected level of services. To ensure the railway is in good shape for the planned expansion it is desired that the railway has a minimum of two five coach rakes available for passenger services, with an additional four coach dining set.
