Croxall railway station was a railway station serving the village of Croxall in Staffordshire between Tamworth and Burton upon Trent
History
It was opened in 1840 by the Birmingham and Derby Junction Railway, one year after the line opened.[1]
It was called Oakley and Alrewas at first, changing to Oakley in 1849, then Croxall in 1856. From 8 April 1878 the staff at Wichnor Junction were placed under the supervision of Croxall station.[2]
It closed to regular passengers in 1928. In 1929 as a consequence of the Birmingham Anglers’ Association being granted a five year lease of the fishing rights in the River Tame in 1929, the L.M.S. Railway company arranged for a Sunday service from Birmingham at 7.15am to call at Croxall, with a return from Croxall provided at 8.50pm.[3] In 1930 the rateable value of the station was reduced to £1 whilst it was used for fishermens' excursions[4] and the excursions were still be advertised in 1932.[5]
Another station named Oakley was opened in 1857 by the Midland Railway on its extension from Leicester to Bedford and Hitchin. This closed in 1958.[6]
