| Notes: The station was situated on the Grand Junction Railway 
                    which opened between Crewe and Chester on 1.10.1840. It is 
                    assumed to have opened with the line in 1840 although there 
                    are no detailed timetables until June 1842; it was originally 
                    called Nantwich. It was situated a couple of miles distant 
                    from the town of Nantwich and when that town got its own station 
                    in 1858, on a different line, it was renamed as Worlaston 
                    on 1.9.1858 and corrected to Worleston in May 1852.. 
 The station had two platforms with a sturdy brick built building 
                    on the Chester bound platform. Wooden waiting facilities were 
                    provided on the Crewe platform. Both platforms where linked 
                    by a footbridge.
 
 The station would have been served mainly by local trains. 
                    The station closed in 1952 probably because of its remote 
                    location. A goods service was maintained until November 1959
