Rushton railway station

Rushton Spencer railway station was a railway station that served the village of Rushton Spencer, Staffordshire. The station was opened by the North Staffordshire Railway in 1849 as part of the Churnet Valley line. It remained open until passenger services were withdrawn from the northern end of the

Churnet valley line (North Rode – Leek) in 1960. Freight services lasted until 1964 when they too were withdrawn and the track lifted. Today the trackbed forms part of the Staffordshire Way.
