The station was renamed as Hixon Halt by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway.
Passenger services on the line were, as a wartime measure, reduced in 1941 to a single train per day from Stoke which had no corresponding return journey.Шаблон:Sfnp In 1947 all stopping passenger services between Stone and Colwich were withdrawn and Hixon along with the neighbouring station, Шаблон:Rws, closed.Шаблон:Sfnp
At the north end of the station was a level crossing and it was this crossing that was the scene of the Hixon rail crash in January 1968.
