Background
Whitmore is less than a 10 minutes drive from many places, Madeley, Baldwins Gate, Ashley, Loggerheads, Butterton, Chapel Chorlton, and more. All of these places have to go to Stoke, Stafford, or Crewe for a rail link. The reopening of Whitmore would provide the almost 10 thousand residents of these villages a much needed rail link to the rest of the country.
