New Street

Railway track at Ipstones, Staffordshire South of the site of Ipstones Station, this is as far as Churnet Valley Railway public services go currently on this line. For a short time recently trains did progress almost as far as Cauldon Low quarry, but then the track was deemed not up to standard for passenger traffic. Some of it has been removed to upgrade the restored line near Endon.
