Description:The South Staffordshire Railway opened this station on the line between Rugeley and Walsall on 1 June 1870.
There was initially much confusion between this station, originally called Rugeley (Trent Valley),and the other Rugeley station on the Trent Valley line, north of the town centre. In 1917 the T.V.R. station was renamed Rugeley (Trent Valley) and this station was renamed Rugeley Town.
Rugeley Town station was re-opened in the 1990s when the line to Walsall was reinstated.
