Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox station Audlem railway station was a station on the former Great Western Railway between Market Drayton and Nantwich, opened in 1863.

It served the village of Audlem in Cheshire, England until closure in 1963.[1] The station was immortalised in the song "Slow Train" by Flanders and Swann.

History

The station was built by the Nantwich and Market Drayton Railway (N&MDR) and opened on 20 October 1863,[2] although the line was operated by the Great Western Railway from its opening, and the N&MDR eventually amalgamated with the Great Western Railway in 1897.[3] The line passed on to the Western Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948, and was then closed to passengers by the British Railways Board on 9 September 1963.[2]
