Disused Railway
The Stoke–Leek line was opened by the North Staffordshire Railway (NSR) in 1867. Milton and Endon were the original stations on the line that opened at the same time as the line. Situated on the single track section of the line between Milton Junction (where the line diverged from the Biddulph Valley line) and Endon, the station had only a single platform.
Passenger services over the line were withdrawn in 1956 and the station closed. The line through the station continued in use until 1988 for freight services and since 1988 the line has officially been out of use but not closed.

Disused railway near Milton, Stoke-on-Trent
On the bridge across the Caldon Canal, looking towards Stoke.
This is the former North Staffordshire Railway line from Leek and Cauldon Low. The line was opened in 1867, and the last freight was carried in 1988. Passenger service ceased in 1965. The track has never been taken up, and the route has recently been purchased by the Moorland and City Railways Company, who have already opened part of the line to Cauldon Low Quarry, and hope to join the main line at Stoke, thus reopening the line here at Milton.
