Cold Meece railway station
Cold Meece railway station was a short lived railway station built during the Second World War by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) to serve ROF Swynnerton
==History==
ROF Swynnerton was a Royal Ordnance filling factory built in 1939–40. It became operational in the middle of 1940 and by mid 1942 the number of people working at the site had grown to approximately 18,500. To meet the need of getting the factory workers to and from the factory the Ministry of Supply asked the LMS to construct a station. The site already had an extensive rail network served from the West Coast main line between and but the LMS chose to build a new branch line running to the site from the North Staffordshire Railway line between and . The branch line, which was double track throughout, ran for just under from Swinnerton Junction to Cold Meece station.
The station had four platforms with run round roads between the two groups of two platform lines; station buildings were of brick construction. The station was for passenger traffic only and no goods facilities were ever provided, all freight movements for the factory were dealt with via the West Coast main line link.
After the war ended the factory and station both continued in use until 1958. The factory closed in May 1958 and although the last scheduled train ran in June 1958, the station did not officially close until August 1959. The branch had been lifted by September 1963.
