Rushton Spencer railway station was a railway station that served the village of Rushton Spencer, Staffordshire. The station was opened by the North Staffordshire Railway in 1849 as part of the Churnet Valley line.[2]
It remained open until passenger services were withdrawn from the northern end of the Churnet valley line (North Rode – Leek) in 1960.[3] Freight services lasted until 1964 when they too were withdrawn[3] and the track lifted. Today the trackbed forms part of the Staffordshire Way.
