Tutbury and Hatton Station is a railway station in England, served by trains on the Crewe to Derby Line, which is a Community Rail line known as the North Staffordshire line. The station is owned by Network Rail and managed by East Midlands Railway.

History

The original station, called simply Tutbury, was opened on 11 September 1848 by the North Staffordshire Railway. This station closed to passengers on 7 November 1966.

Nestlé have a historical presence in the village of Hatton due to the surrounding farmland, which supported a strong dairy farming industry. Nestlé's factory is labelled by the company as their Tutbury factory. Until the late 1970s the factory had its own private siding, which gave access to milk trains from the station.

The present station was opened in 1989 and serves the villages of Tutbury in Staffordshire, and Hatton in Derbyshire.

Facilities

The station is formed of two platforms which are staggered either side of the level crossing, supervised by a signal box at the station.

The station is unstaffed and facilities are limited. There is a shelter on each platform as well as modern help points and bicycle storage. The station has no ticket machines; the full range of tickets can be purchased from the guard on board the train.^[2]

Step-free access is available to both the platforms at the station.^[3]

All services at Tutbury and Hatton are operated by East Midlands Railway.

On weekdays and Saturdays, the station is generally served by an hourly service westbound to Crewe via Stoke-on-Trent and eastbound to Newark Castle via Derby and Nottingham.^[4] During the late evenings, services terminate at Nottingham instead of Newark Castle.
