Rugeley Town railway station serves the town of Rugeley in Staffordshire, England. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by London Midland. The station originally opened in 1870 as Rugeley (Trent Valley), confusingly the same name as the station on the main Trent Valley Line. In 1917 it was renamed Rugeley Town. The station, together with all those on the line between Walsall and Rugeley, were closed on 18 January 1965 as part of the Beeching Axe, although the line remained open as freight-only. The station closed to goods on 6 September 1965. It re-opened in 1997, as the second stage of the reopening to passengers of the Chase Line saw the extension of services beyond Hednesford. The following year, the short section of track between Rugeley Town and Rugeley Trent Valley stations was also reopened, allowing services to be extended via theTrent Valley section of the West Coast Main Line to Stafford.
