Longton railway station is located on King Street in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent.
The station is owned by Network Rail and managed by East Midlands Trains (EMT) train operating company (TOC). The station is unstaffed but has CCTV and electronic customer customer information screens showing arrival and departure times. Tickets for travel can be purchased on board from the Senior Conductor.
The station was opened on 7 August 1848 by the North Staffordshire Railway. It is located on an embankment opposite the town hall and next to a cantilever bridge, which is a local landmark. A ticket office is located in a walkway underneath the station but has been locked out of use since the early 1990s.
In 2003 a new bus station was built adjacent to the railway
station and named Longton Transport Interchange. Nearby, new commercial premises have been built, including a large Tesco Extra supermarket.
To the west of the station is Foley Crossing signal box.
