Approaching crossing at site of Hixon station, 1995 View westward, the station (unstaffed Halt since 20/7/31, closed 6/1/47 when local services ceased) had been on the left: ex-North Stafford Stone (to right) - Colwich (to left) loop used by London Euston - Manchester through trains running via Stoke-on-Trent and electrified in 1965-66. There was an RAF Airfield close by and the line was frequently blocked by crashing aircraft during World War Two, but the site is famous for the extraordinary accident of 6/1/68 when an express crashed into a low-loader creeping across the level-crossing carrying a 120-ton electrical transformer.

Top Hixon Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Burton Upon Trent by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff and comfortable rooms"

Spread Eagle, Gailey by Marston's Inns

10/10 Excellent

"Great room (103), nice and clean with toiletries and nice clean towels. Cooked Breakfast was included in our booking and was really nice and could also choose from the continental options that was available as well. Although dinner wasn’t included we ate in the restaurant on the first night and although I was a little fussy with what I could eat the chef was very accommodating. Food was lovely."
