Coalport railway station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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. By 1925 an additional platform had been added thus permitting up and down trains to pass along with a third platform face behind the up platform formed an east facing bay. By this time the goods sidings to the east of the station had been expanded. Although the bay platform has been filled in the platform edgeing bricks remain. The space between the two main platform faces has been only partially filled and the station thus retains much of it former character.
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. The building is very similar in style to Arley on the Severn Valley Railway and retains many of its original architectural features.
A converted British Railways Mark 1 carriage stands on a short length of track between the platforms and is used as holiday accommodation. The station closed at the time of the Beeching axe in 1963.
