The Trentham Park branch line was a 1+14-mile (2.0 km) railway line that ran through the Trentham area of Stoke-on-Trent. It was last branch line to be built by the North Staffordshire Railway.[1] Intended to route traffic to Trentham Gardens, the branch was authorised in 1907 and opened on 1 April 1910. It left the main line at Trentham Junction where there was a platform connected by a short path to Trentham, although Trentham Junction itself never appeared as a separate station in the timetable.[1]
