The railway line between Uttoxeter and Burton-on-Trent was opened by the North Staffordshire Railway (NSR) in 1848[4] and a station to serve the village of Scropton was opened at about the same time (the actual date is imprecise but the station was mentioned in timetables issued in 1849–50).[1]
The station remained open only for a short time before being closed at the beginning of 1866.[1] After closure the station site was used for exchange sidings between the narrow gauge Scropton Tramway and the NSR.[5]
