Coalport West formerly Coalport
(1862 - 1963)
The GWR Coalport railway station was
originally built as a single through platform railway station on
the Severn Valley Line serving the village of Coalport in
Shropshire, England in 1862. By January 1896, an additional
platform had been added, thus permitting up and down trains to
pass each other
By this time, the goods sidings to the east of the station had
been expanded
The station closed on September 9 1963 as part of the planned
closure of the northern end of the Severn Valley Line which
pre-dated the Beeching report
Currently, the station lies on a dismantled section of the
Severn Valley Line north of Bridgnorth and has been sold into
private hands as a dwelling and two converted British Railways
carriages stand on a short length of track between the platforms
and are used as holiday accommodation
