Fairfield Halt was a railway station at
London & North Western Railway (LNWR) on 16 December 1907 to serve the nearby Buxton Golf Club.[1] Opening the station had been requested by the golf club committee and the local authority to attract more visitors who lived close to the LNWR's line between Manchester and Buxton.[2]
The station was unusual in that it only had one platform and was only served by trains heading to Buxton.[1] In addition passengers were only allowed to alight from trains.[3]
Known at various times as simply Fairfield, Fairfield Halt and Fairfield Halt for Golf Links, the station closed at the outbreak of the Second World War.[1][3]
