25322 "Tamworth Castle" stands at the sand loading bunker at Oakamoor Sidings having been externally restored for a series of EMRPS charters .....This one taking place on 3rd Jan 09....Despite being affectively a preservation scene, all railway activity has been swepted away at this location with the loading bunker demolished and the sidings and branch from Froghall lifted by the Churnet Valley in 2014....a strange decision as it was this sand traffic that saved the churnet routes in the first place and this bunker was a unique feature of a preserved line....looking on a recent Trekking Exploration video only the banana van on the right survives in the wilderness at this site
