Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Leekbrook Disused Railway Station Leek Brook railway station was opened by the North Staffordshire Railway (NSR) in 1904. It consisted of an island platform with two faces on the line from Stoke-on-Trent and Leek and a single platform on the down (i.e. Leek bound) direction of the Churnet Valley Line. The railway station was a very quiet station not even advertised in timetables and was described by the NSR as a halt. The Churnet Valley platform was mainly used as an interchange platform with the St Edwards Hospital tramway using the other side of the platform. Passengers to and from Stoke-on-Trent used the platforms on the Stoke–Leek line and walked over to the Churnet Valley platform to catch a tram to the hospital. Passengers wishing to head south on the Churnet Valley line towards Uttoxeter would have to catch a northbound train to Leek and then return through Leek Brook on a south bound train. Leek Brook railway station closed to all traffic on 7 May 1956, the hospital railway had already closed two years previously in November 1954. |
