Norton Bridge railway station is four miles north-west of Stafford on the West Coast Main Line near the village of Norton Bridge in Staffordshire, England.
The main line platforms were removed before electrification in the 1960s. The island platform serving the Manchester via Stoke-on-Trent branch of the WCML has been out of use since 2004 when the footbridge was removed in order to improve clearances.
The passenger train service has been replaced by a bus service, the 490 operated by Wardle Transport which operates Monday-Saturday (this route was operated by D&G Bus until August 2011).
From 2007, the Office of Rail Regulation no longer counted usage figures.[1]
Buses to Stafford depart at 0749, 0940, 1159, 1352 and 1609 and 1715.
Buses to Stone depart at 0840, 1031, 1251 and 1446.
Connections can be made at Stone with the Bakerbus X1, which serves Barlaston and Wedgwood railway stations and accepts valid rail tickets.
