In its heyday, the Potteries Loop Line saw almost 40 trains a day use its route.
The railway line opened in 1870, connecting Etruria via Hanley, Cobridge, Burslem, Tunstall, Pittshill, Newchapel and Goldenhill to Kidsgrove Liverpool Road witha junction with the Manchester line.
By 1910, Hanley was the largest of the Six Towns, and the route was known for its severe gradients and sharp turns around the area - as well as in Tunstall and Burslem.
