Salt and Sandon railway station
- Salt and Sandon railway station
Salt and Sandon railway station was a former British railway station by the Stafford and Uttoxeter Railway to serve the village of Salt in Staffordshire in 1867 [Jones P (1981) "The Stafford and Uttoxeter Railway," Salisbury: The Oakwood Press]
Until 1904 it was known simply as "Salt" the name being changed to avoid confusion with Sandon and Salt station on the North Staffordshire Railway. Sandon was actually about two miles away, the station being nearer to Sandon Bank.. From Salt the line turned sharply south east to Weston, then passing under the North Staffordshire Railway's main line from Stone to Colwich.
Passenger services finished in 1939 [Butt, R.V.J., (1995) "The Directory of Railway Stations," Yeovil: Patrick Stephens]
