North Staffs Community Rail Partnership took part in National Heritage Open Days this year offering a number of talks and tours at Stafford and Crewe Stations in partnership with Avanti West Coast. There were two illustrated talks at Stafford Station with Michael Willmot delivering a talk on A History of Rail Travel Poster Art and Robin Mathems giving a talk on the History of the Trent Valley Railway. At Crewe Station Niki Abnet gave a tour of the station including information on the history of Crewe Station and the railway in Crewe plus attendees got to visit areas not normally open to the public!
NSCRP promotes the importance of local railways in improving mobility and sustainable travel, community cohesion and wellbeing, and social and economic development.
