Trains from the station ran from Stoke on Trent, to junction with the Great Western Railway at Market Drayton.

The early years of the 20th century were the busiest, with thirteen trains daily from Stoke to Silverdale and five to Market Drayton.

[3] Express Dairies had a creamery with private siding access to the station, allowing its preferred transport partner the GWR to provide milk trains to the facility, for onward scheduling to London.

After the closure of the creamery in Spring 1965, the route between Market Drayton and Madeley Chord closed under the Beeching Axe in 1966.

[2] A large amount of rail still exists on the eastern edge of the former and now demolished station, running back towards Silverdale.
