Situated on the North Staffordshire Railway (NSR) Stoke to Market Drayton Line, this halt was opened in 1905 when the NSR introduced a railmotor service between Silverdale and Trentham as a response to competition from tram companies.[2] Situated between Knutton village and Knutton Forge, the station was not much used and was an early closure under London, Midland and Scottish railway ownership, closing in September 1926.[3]
Present day
No traces of the halt site remain, but the former trackbed is now a greenway.

gollark: That's kind of annoying. I suppose I don't really need 5.3 features right now.
gollark: Nope, still installs `luabitop` and does the `bit.c:79:2: error: #error "Unknown number type, check LUA_NUMBER_* in luaconf.h"` thing.
gollark: Installing Lapis off LuaRocks seems to bring in an old version of `pgmoon` which requires `luabitop` which doesn't work beyond 5.2, is there a way to make LuaRocks pull directly off the git repository or something?
gollark: Huh. This does *also* look asynchronous. I guess I can probably deal with it being mildly less efficient, I don't need massive throughput.
gollark: I'm mostly just looking at options right now, wasn't aware there was a non-OpenResty way to use Lapis.
