About the North Staffordshire Railway Study Group
(NSRSG)
The North Staffordshire Railway Study Group (NSRSG)
was formed in October 1995 to bring together people with
an interest in the North Staffordshire Railway - the NSR
or The Knotty - in order to increase the knowledge of
the railway, and to improve the understanding of the
role of the railway within the community it served.
The aims of the Study Group are:
- to gather together as much surviving
information as there is about the NSR
- to try to ensure that it is not lost
- to make such information more widely
available to those who have an interest in the
railway.
Publications
The Group currently publishes its newsletter,
Loop Lines, four times per year and
The Journal twice a year.
The
Journal (ISSN: 2633-982X) is the means by which the Study Group publishes
articles on and about the North Staffordshire Railway.
Follow this link for the
Journal Index - an index into the content of all
Journals.
Loop Lines addresses membership matters for the
Group and covers items of a more immediate and topical
nature, such as advanced notice of Group meetings, other
railway-related meetings, general items of railway news
and members' queries (and hopefully the answers).
Meetings
The Group usually meets three times a
year. The meetings are held in February (the AGM
meeting), April and October at the Gladstone Pottery Museum,
Longton, Stoke-on-Trent. Additionally there might be occasional
walks along the route of a former Knotty line.
Facebook Page
There is a Study Group Facebook page
where you can see news and forthcoming events, and comment on them.
On-line Discussion Group
The Group maintains an on-line discussion
group on Groups.io, known as nsrail. This group
is open
only to Study Group members.
