Ingestre railway station

Ingestre railway station

Ingestre and Weston railway station was a former British railway station to serve the village of Ingestre in Staffordshire. [Jones P (1981) "The Stafford and Uttoxeter Railway," Salisbury: The Oakwood Press]

It was opened by the Stafford and Uttoxeter Railway in 1867. Originally called Ingestre it was actually much closer to Weston and was renamed (also Ingestre for Weston) in 1870 to avoid confusion with Weston and Ingestre on the North Staffordshire Railway.

Proceeding north west the line passed under the North Staffordshire Railway's main line from Stone to Colwich, the line climbed slightly towards Chartley and Stowe.

Passenger services finished in 1937 [Butt, R.V.J., (1995) "The Directory of Railway Stations," Yeovil: Patrick Stephens]
