Liverpool Road Halt railway station was a railway station located in the north of Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire, England. It was opened in 1905 by the North Staffordshire Railway in connection with the introduction of railmotor services.[1]
The station had two short wooden platforms and was accessed via steps leading down from an overbridge on Liverpool Road, which now forms part of the A34.[2]
Unlike most of the other halts on the line it survived until the withdrawal of passenger services in 1964.[1] Although the platforms are long gone the trackbed can still be followed, the site of the halt now being occupied by a pedestrian underpass.[2]
