HistoryIt was opened in 1849 by the NSR on its Churnet Valley Line between {{stnlnk|North Rode}} and {{stnlnk|Uttoxeter}}. Three years later the station became a junction station when the NSR built a branch to {{stnlnk|Ashbourne}} via {{stnlnk|Norbury and Ellaston}}. This was met in 1899 by the Ashbourne Line from {{stnlnk|Buxton}} built by the LNWR.[2] The aim of the LNWR was to run expresses from Buxton to London, as well as gaining access to Derby and the East Midlands. In fact the expresses never materialised, being no more than through coaches attached to other trains at Uttoxeter. Even in LMS days when the trains ran through from Buxton to Rocester, they were timetabled as different services which included a "through coach." Passenger services to Ashbourne finished in 1954 and freight ended in 1964. The station closed when the Churnet Valley Line closed in 1965.
