Wedgwood railway station

Wedgwood railway station served the Wedgwood complex in Barlaston, Staffordshire, England. Although the station is not officially closed, no trains currently call at the station and it is instead served by a rail replacement bus.
History.
The station was opened by the London Midland & Scottish Railway on 1 January 1940 to serve the Wedgwood complex in Staffordshire, England. Nearby is Barlaston Hall, and the station also serves the village of Trentham, near Stoke-on-Trent.
It was originally named "Wedgwood Halt", and was renamed "Wedgwood" on 14 June 1965. From 23 May 2004 the line through the station was temporarily closed for major refurbishment work, but upon completion the station was not re-opened; the tracks through the station are still regularly used but trains do not stop there. Along with nearby , a rail replacement bus serves the station instead, operated by D&G 100, which accepts valid rail tickets.
The station is currently threatened with complete closure – it was formerly served by the to stopping service, but was not included as a stop on the Crewe–London Euston service ran by then-operator London Midland. There were plans to have it re-opened to traffic in 2018 when the next West Midlands rail franchise started. This did not happen in 2018, although the new franchise tender includes proposals to reinstate either this station or Barlaston as a stop on a new Birmingham - Stoke - Crewe service.
Access to the platforms is no longer possible as the station has been fenced off. Network Rail have erected signs saying the platforms are structurally unsafe.
In May 2021, the station will officially close to passengers and will be reopened.. However, the May 2021 London Northwestern Railway Timetable does not show Barlaston as a stopping place and, as at 18 May 2021 no Notice of Closure for Wedgwood has been published.
