The station was opened by The Grand Junction Railway in 1876 and was temporarily closed in May 2004 when Central Trains services between Stafford and Stoke-on-Trent were withdrawn (although the 2003 timetable shows the service provided by a bus) and replaced by BakerBus route X1, the footbridge access was removed in December 2004. It was officially closed in December 2017 and the replacement bus service ceased in March 2019 when the rail subsidy was withdrawn.
