East Midlands TrainsThe Derby to Crewe Line operated by East Midlands Trains shares the Stafford to Manchester Line between Stoke-on-Trent and Kidsgrove. HistoryThe line was completed in 1848 and incorporated the main line of the North Staffordshire Railway from the junction with the London and North Western Railway at Norton Bridge via its principal station at Stoke-on-Trent to Macclesfield where it made a running junction again with the LNWR, which had its own station at Macclesfield (Hibel Road), which was closed by British Rail. The North Staffordshire Railway became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923. ElectrificationThe line was electrified at 25 kV AC, using overhead wires under the BR 1955 Modernisation Plan.
