I was in the area and couldn't think of a better way to spend a dinner hour than walking about the trains

Visited with The Stig and 3 other explorers. The sidings at Oakamoor are a relatively recent addition to the line’s history, and were first used as a siding to the quarry nearby. The sidings are currently used for storage as part of the Churnet Valley preserved Railway. When the line was...

One of the top Urbex-tourist destinations in Staffordshire Oakamoor Train Graveyard makes a nice explore for a summers day located in a secluded spot. Visited here last summer and spent a couple of hours mooching around before making an exit via the nearby Oakamoor Tunnel. The site houses...

Visited with: Ravenwing, The Raven, Bluestreak and 2 non member. Arranged to meet with ravenwing then a late phonecall to The Raven saw us all make the short drive from Hanley over to Oakamoor to attempt some night time photography. Hope you enjoy the pictures. Information: Moneystone...

This place has been covered a fair few times before, but thought I'd go up and have a look around for myself. Some of the volunteers were up there, so asked them if they minded if I took some photos. The sidings were originally built for use by the sand quarry, which is just up the hill from...

Visited with nic81 whilst on a trip down to Alton Towers. since this place it like a 10 minute drive away, it would of been so daft not to go and have a neebie at this place. This place seems to be changing from report to report with some which have locomotives in whilst on the day we went, it...

Visited with Bekky, Humpa & some of Humpa's friends. I noticed that Oakamoor has become fairly popular once again and felt that it had been slightly overdue since i had visited the place for some lovely night shots. For the past two years i have been trying to time it correctly so that i could...
