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 closer to Silverdale town centre than Silverdale station, the station remained open until 1949.[3]


Present day


Nothing remains of the halt site, but a signal post is still in situ and some old fencing but the halt site is now a greenway and park.
