Blyth Bridge Station, adjacent to the CCTV monitored level crossing on Uttoxeter Road, was opened by the North Staffordshire Railway in 1848. Until 1907 the name was spelt as 'Blyth Bridge'; it is immediately adjacent to the River Blithe - another variation on the spelling. Today the station is served by trains between Crewe and Derby which run generally hourly in each direction. Freight trains using this route are few and far between.
