The station is adjacent to Burntwood Rugby Club, (where the Burntwood Wakes festival is held), and when the station was first built it was directly accessible from Chasetown, via the Rugby Club car park on Church Street. However, since the construction of phase 3 of the Burntwood Bypass in 2004, direct access to Chasetown is now via a footbridge.[1] Chasewater Heaths railway station is just to the north, indeed to get to Chasetown by road one has to go past Chasewater Heaths.
