Chatting to a bloke, at the cafe on the road from Brocton to Pie Green across the Chase, t'other day. Testing out my new road cycle, and stopped for a brew and a Mars Bar. He seemed to know all about railways, so I asked him about this former line. I knew it went beyond Weston and Gnosall, but wasn't sure how far. He says it used to go twixt Uttoxeter and Shewsbury and closed in the 50's. He said that this was pretty short sighted, as this would be a useful line now! Don't know about this at all, but it does make a useful cycle track between the Doxey Rd and Beaconside!
