History[]

The original station, called simply Tutbury, was opened on 11 September 1848 by the North Staffordshire Railway.

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
