Nowhere near the same number of people visit The Manifold Valley and the track bed is now the road up the valley. Nice dream but probably not going to happen. But one should never say never in preservation!

I agree with John H-T I can't see the locals now being in favour this being rebuilt I think you will get far too many NIMBY's now no matter how attractive we as railway enthusiasts think it will be.
I think your proposal re the North Staffs Railway is far more likely
