Highley
(1862- 1963)
Heritage
Highley railway station is a station on
the Severn Valley Railway heritage line in Shropshire opening
February 1 1862 and closing in September 9 1963
Highley Station is the only staffed single-platform station on
the line
The station was inconveniently far from Highley so the arrival
of a bus service seriously affected use of the station
After closure in 1963, little demolition took place
at Highley, the station buildings and the signal box remained
intact
Between April and mid-May 1974, Highley was the southern
terminus of the Severn Valley Heritage Railway. After torrential
overnight rain on June 19 2007 areas of the railway near Highley
collapsed in landslides. After repair, the line between
Northwood Halt and Bridgnorth was restored for passenger use and
the first public train ran on Friday 21 March 2008
