Alton Towers railway station is a disused railway station in the village of Alton, Staffordshire, England. The station was on the North Staffordshire Railway's Churnet Valley Line from Macclesfield to Uttoxeter. ==History== Alton station opened on 13 July 1849 and was built in an Italianate villa style. It was used by the Earl of Shrewsbury who had a luggage lift installed to hoist his baggage up to Alton Towers, his gothic revival residence which is situated at the top of nearby Bunbury Hill. The station also comprised a three-storey tower which contained the Earl's suite of waiting rooms and its platform was particularly long to satisfy the Earl's desire to have impressive surroundings in which to receive his guests. It became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The station then passed on to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948, The station was renamed Alton Towers in recognition of its previous service to the Alton Towers estate in 1954, only to be closed ten years later by the British Transport Commission.
