	North Staffordshire Railway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The North Staffordshire Railway was a British railway company which had its roots in an early scheme to build a small plateway from the base of the Cauldon canal up to Cauldon quarries.
		On the 25th of November 1845 the Derby and Crewe Railway was absorbed giving the NSR the basis on which to submit plans for construction.
		The NSR was absorbed into the London, Midland and Scottish Railway on the 1st of July 1923.

	Railways in Draycott
		The first railways in the area, (though not in the actual parish of Draycott), were not railways in the present sense of the word.
		Railways first came to the parish in 1848 in the form of the Stoke to Uttoxeter line which opened on 7th August of that year, by the North Staffordshire Railway Company, known locally as "The Knotty" due to its symbol being the Staffordshire Knot.
		Finally, there is a book entitled "The Cheadle Railway" by Allan C. Baker which charts the history of the line, and at the nearby Foxfield Steam Railway there is a body of a coach which used to run on the Cheadle Railway and a signal box identical to the one which stood at Cresswell.

	London, Midland and Scottish Railway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1938, the LMS operated 6,870 route miles (11,056 km) of railway (excluding lines in Northern Ireland), but it was not very profitable with a rate of return of only 2.7%.
		The railway's main business was the transportation of freight between these major industrial centres.
		The early history of the LMS is dominated by infighting between its two largest constituents, the Midland and the North Western, previously two fierce rivals.

		In fact, in all relating to Municipal and Parliamentary matters, Stoke has always shown the way to the whole of North Staffordshire, and would, no doubt, in the opinion of the outside world, be ranked before these towns, which, in the immediate district, are regarded as standing at the head of the Potteries.
		North Staffordshire Railway Company: The admirable railway facilities possessed by the town have, no doubt, contributed largely to the development of the neighbourhood.

		On 24 September, a deputation from the North Staffordshire Railway Co. met a deputation from the Canal Company, when terms were suggested, but nothing definite was done, as the Chairman did not consider that the deputation was pledged to the terms then suggested unless they were sanctioned by a General Meeting of the Canal Company.
		The Chairman stated that the railway company was pushing the Bill as speedily as could consistently be done with the circumstances; and there was a provision in the contract to make it binding even without an Act.

		The only North Staffordshire Railway steam locomotive in existence, "New L" class 0-6-2T no.2, built at Stoke in 1922.
		The reason for its survival is that it was sold by the LMS in 1937 to Manchester Collieries and was still working for the NCB in 1960 when it was returned to NSR livery as part of the Stoke on Trent jubilee celebrations.
		It is now on loan to the CVR from the National Railway Museum as a static exhibit.
