Stafford and Uttoxeter Railway in 1867 and closed in 1939.

Built in a cutting, the main station buildings were next to the road above, with the booking office on the main platform. Like most of the others on the line, the platforms were staggered, both accessible by cart tracks. [Jones P (1981) "The Stafford and Uttoxeter Railway," Salisbury: The Oakwood Press]
