Disused Railway Lines between Silverdale Tunnel and Keele Station
The first part of the line to be built required the private Silverdale & Newcastle Railway, built in 1850 by ironmaster Ralph Sneyd, to become public. This was enabled by an Act of 1859 and passenger services from Stoke to Newcastle began in 1862. Silverdale was reached in May 1863.
Meanwhile, the Great Western Railway was planning to reach Manchester and in an effort to block this, the Market Drayton extension was completed in February 1870.
The last traffic on the line was coal from Apedale and Silverdale collieries, which ceased in December 1998 when the latter was closed.

Keele Railway Station (Disused)
Keele railway station is a disused railway station in Staffordshire, England.
The Stoke to Market Drayton Line was opened by the North Staffordshire Railway (NSR) in 1870. The station, then called Keele Road was opened on the same day as the line opened. In 1898 the station was renamed Keele.
The line through the station was singled in 1934 and the number of platforms reduced to one but the line through the disused platform was retained as a passing loop for goods trains.
Passenger traffic at the station was withdrawn in 1956 and goods traffic was withdrawn in January 1967 when the station closed altogether. The line through the station remained in use until the closure of Silverdale Colliery in 1998.
