was constructed on the "up" platform. Cheddleton Station (2014–present) As part of the Churnet Valley Living Landscape Project, following the completion of phase 1 at Leek Brook the NSRC has devised phases 2, 3 & 4 that will see heritage items be restored to Cheddleton Station. It has been a long-held ambition to restore Cheddleton to its former glory, and in-turn create a living museum for visitors to enjoy. Phase 2 saw the re-erection of the former Hanley Water column (an original NSR column) on the "down" platform at the north end This also included the erection of the Braithwaite Tank from Bolton's Works in the car park behind the "down" platform, Also, separate from the CV LLP, a grant has been obtained to replace a number of the metal fences around Cheddleton with similar to the original NSR-style. Involvement with Moorland & City Railways – share issue 4 In November 2010 the Churnet Valley Railway was hired to operate a series of events by Moorlands & City Railways to celebrate the re-opening of the Cauldon Branch to the public for the first time since 1935. The branch is noteworthy for its severe gradients, with roughly 5 miles (8.0 km) of 1-in-45/1-in-59 (2.2%/1.7%) in one direction and 2 miles (3.2 km) of 1-in-61 (1.6%) on the return journey. The summit of the line is at Ipstones, being 1,063 feet above sea level. In 2011 an agreement was reached between CVR and MCR that allowed the CVR to operate services themselves over this branch, and since this date such trains have been run on the first weekend of every month between April and October plus additional special events such as enthusiast galas and private charters. This agreement required Churnet Valley Railway to purchase shares in MCR, and so in February 2011 publicity trains were run with 5199 and 33021 over the Cauldon line to launch this latest scheme first to current shareholders and then to the public. The overall target was £450,000 much higher than previous share issues, and the vast majority of this was raised which allowed the initial investment in MCR to go ahead. In Summer 2014, CVR then re-opened share issue 4 under the "Ipstones Track Appeal" banner as following further discussions it had been decided to accept an offer from MCR to purchase the track work (sleepers, chairs, rails) of the remaining 4 miles (7.2 km) from
