History

Mossley Halt was opened by the North Staffordshire Railway in 1919.[3]

It was used by workers traveling to and from Black Bull Coal Mine.[1]

In 1923 the Chatterley-Whitfeild Collieries ran services to transport their own workers between Mossley Halt, Chell Halt and Biddulph Halt. These services ran twice a day one in the early morning and one a night.[4] These services did not last long.[4]

The London, Midland and Scottish Railway ran 2 services a day between Mossley Halt and Chell Halt, these trains ran at midday to take the noon shift workers to the Collieries and to bring the day shift workers back.[4]

By the time of grouping there was one service on a Saturday that called at Mossley Halt.[2]

Mossley Halt closed on 13 July 1925.[3]

Facilities

Mossley Halt had one platform with a waiting shelter, a booking office and a platelayers hut.[2]
