Caverswall Road railway station is a heritage railway station on the Foxfield Railway in Staffordshire. It serves as the centre of the railway's operations. Since the Foxfield Railway is a former industrial railway, there were no passenger stations on the line originally. ==The Foxfield Light Railway Society== The society was formed in 1967 to preserve any railway artifacts irrespective of their origins and to operate them on the line that originally connected the former Foxfield Colliery in Dilhorne, Staffordshire, with the Stoke on Trent to Derby line of the former North Staffordshire Railway at Blythe Bridge. The Society became a Company, Limited by Guarantee in 1972. It was granted Charitable Status by the Inland Revenue at that time. It has no Shareholders and each Full Member has a liability limited to £5. From January 2009 it has been registered with the Charity Commissioners as a Registered Charity in its own right and as a former constitution. In 1995 after 28 years of operation, the Company was awarded a Light Railway Order SI1995 No 1236 under the Light Railways Act 1896. This gave it Statuary Powers as defined in the Instrument to build and operate a railway and buildings. Before this time it had simply taken over the "grandfather rights" of its former owners. An important reference in the Order is to the Railway Clauses Consolidation Act of 1845. This empower the company to erect such buildings and structures as necessary for the operation of its line, without having to seek planning permission from the local authority. The Company has operated on a volunteer basis since 1967, but some paid staff also work. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Caverswall Road railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
