It was opened in 1909 and located on the Potteries Loop Line.[2] At first it was used by trains in both directions but was later served only by northbound trains due to the severe gradient, being a 1 in 40 climb southbound.[2] Although only a halt, it had a considerable length of platform and modest wooden buildings, plus an old NSR carriage used as a waiting room.[3] The halt closed in 1950 and the trackbed is now part of the Potteries Greenway.[4] References1. ^1 {{Quick-Stations|page=231}} {{s-rail-start|noclear=yes}}{{s-rail|title=Disused}}{{s-rail-national|next=Newchapel and Goldenhill|previous=Kidsgrove Liverpool Road|route=Potteries Loop Line|status=Disused|toc=NSR|note=Line and station closed|note2=Line and station closed}}{{s-end}}{{Closed stations Staffordshire}}2. ^1 {{cite book | last=Christiansen | first=Rex | |author2=Miller, R.
