Location

Cobridge railway station was located on the Potteries Loop Line and served the Cobridge area of Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England. The station was located between Elder Road and Sandbach Road. ^[2]

Like Waterloo Road which closed in 1943 to passengers and then goods by 1966-69, Kidsgrove Market Street Halt in 1950 and 1979, Hanley, Burslem, Newchapel and Goldenhill, Tunstall and Cobridge Railway Stations as well were listed for closure under the 1963 Beeching Report, the station closed in 1964 when the passenger service on the Loop was withdrawn. As of 2025 the bridge and steps that led to the platform still exist but the trackbed is now a footpath and the tunnel, which was to the south of the station, has been infilled since 1969. ^[3]
