Notes: Situated on the Sandbach to Northwich line which opened for goods services in November 1867 Middlewich was the only station of any significance between the two Cheshire Towns and it was the only passing point on an otherwise single track branch. The only other passenger facilities on the line consisted of Halts at Billinge Green and Cledford Bridge.

The line was always more important as a route for goods and diverted express trains from the nearby West Coast Main line with which it runs parallel. Middlewich Station closed to passenger services on 4.1.1960.

The line is still open today for freight services and remarkably Middlewich remains a passing point, although the signalbox that once controlled this double track section has long gone.

The Middlewich Rail Link Campaign was formed in 1992 to campaign for the reopening of Middlewich Station.
