North Rode railway station

North Rode railway station (originally North Rode junction) served the village of North Rode, in Cheshire, England.

The station was opened by the North Staffordshire Railway (NSR) on 18 June 1849 and formed the junction of the Churnet Valley Line from the main NSR line between Stoke-on-Trent and Macclesfield.

The station was sited some distance from the village and traffic was sparse; however, it remained open until 1962 when it closed completely, although passenger traffic between North Rode and Leek had been withdrawn in 1960.

Trains continue to pass through the station site. There is now very little evidence of a once busy railway station, other than the remains of a milk churn chute on the steep western embankment.
