Шаблон:Infobox station Basford railway station was a station on the Grand Junction Railway serving the villages of Basford, Hough and Weston in what was then Cheshire, England.

History

On 4 July 1837 the Grand Junction Railway (GJR) opened its line between a temporary station at Шаблон:Rws, Birmingham and Warrington, where it met the already opened line to Newton (on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway).Шаблон:Sfn Most of the stations on the line opened at the same time but Basford was a late addition, opening sometime before 8 August 1838 when it was first mentioned in Company minutes.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The station does not feature in the company's first (1837) timetable.Шаблон:Sfn Whishaw (1842) calls the station Basford Heath.Шаблон:Sfn

The Osborne's guide (2nd edition, published in 1838) says "This station has been lately added, for the convenience of the neighbouring country: and there is a large house erected close by, which is intended for an inn. The road to the right leads to the Potteries, that to the left for Nantwich".Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Efn Webster (1972) also notes that the station was "added almost as an afterthought when it was seen that there was sufficient demand from the neighbouring countryside".Шаблон:Sfn The precise location of the station is provided by Mogg (1840) who also notes that "its continuance is doubtful and on that account not worthy of notice",Шаблон:Sfn and Cruchley's 1856 Railway & Telegraph Map of Cheshire shows it located where the turnpike from Newcastle-under-Lyme to Nantwich crosses the railway.Шаблон:Sfn

In 1838 the station saw two north-bound trains at 0853 and 1857, the trains going on to both Liverpool and Manchester,Шаблон:Sfn and two in the opposite direction at 0857 and 1857 going to Birmingham.Шаблон:Sfn

The service level stayed much the same with two or three daily services in each direction stopping at the station (ecept on Sundays), the times changed occasionally, by 1855 the up services were at 1025 and 1934 and the down services at 0820, 1647 and 1901.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Efn

The station closed on 1 July 1875, it was replaced by Шаблон:Rws.Шаблон:Sfn
