Tutbury and Hatton Station is a railway station in England, served by trains on the Crewe to Derby Line, which is a Community rail line known as the North Staffordshire line. The station is owned by Network Rail and managed by East Midlands Railway.

History

The original station, called simply Tutbury, was opened on 11 September 1848 by the North Staffordshire Railway. Nestlé have a historical presence in the village of Hatton due to the surrounding farmland, which supported a strong dairy farming industry. Nestlé's factory is labelled by the company as their Tutbury factory. Until the late 1970s the factory had its own private siding, which gave access to milk trains from the station. The factory since has developed into a major coffee producer, the sole UK facility producing the Dolce Gusto range, and also NescaféNESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto

The original Tutbury station closed to passengers on 7 November 1966.

The present station was opened in 1989 and serves the villages of Tutbury in Staffordshire, and Hatton in Derbyshire.
