The line from Stoke was originally part of the North Staffordshire Railway network, established in the 1840s. The line carried its last traffic, limestone from Caldon Low, in 1989. It is officially "mothballed", which is why the tracks are still in place. Various proposals to reopen the line have come and gone but there is still the possibility that the line will be resurrected, some day.
