Cold Meece railway station was a short-lived railway station built during the Second World War by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway to serve ROF Swynnerton.
ROF Swynnerton was a Royal Ordnance filling factory built in 1939–40. It became operational in the middle of 1940 and by mid 1942 the number of people working at the site had grown to approximately 18,500. To meet the need of getting the factory workers to and from the factory the Ministry of Supply asked the LMS to construct a station. The site already had an extensive rail network served from the West Coast main line between Crewe and Stafford but the LMS chose to build a new branch line running to the site from the North Staffordshire Railway line between Stone and Norton Bridge. The branch line, which was double track throughout, ran for just under 2 miles from Swinnerton Junction to Cold Meece station.
