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
