Grindley railway station

Grindley railway station

Grindley railway station was a former British railway station to serve the village of Grindley in Staffordshire.

It was opened by the Stafford and Uttoxeter Railway in 1867 and closed in 1939. [Butt, R.V.J., (1995) "The Directory of Railway Stations," Yeovil: Patrick Stephens]

Originally single line, a passing loop was added in 1887. 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]

Two miles further north the single line entered Bromshall Tunnel before reaching its junction with North Staffordshire Railwayline to Uttoxeter.
