Fenton railway station was opened in 1864 by the North Staffordshire Railway on its line to Derby. It closed in 1961.[2] It was located in Heron Cross and was one of two stations in the area, the other being Fenton Manor.
The buildings and platforms have been demolished although the site itself is still identifiable, occupied by a communications mast.[3]
