Coalbrookdale railway station

Telford, Italy

Coalbrookdale railway station is a disused station that served both Coalbrookdale and Ironbridge in Shropshire, England. The station was situated on the now mothballed freight-only line between Buildwas Junction and Lightmoor Junction. The station buildings are now used by the Green Wood Centre. In

1979, British Rail ran summer Sunday services to a temporary station, Telford (Coalbrookdale), in collaboration with the Telford Development Corporation and the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust. The temporary station was not far from the former Coalbrookdale station, which closed 17 years earlier. The Telford Steam Railway has aspirations to take possession of the up track passing through the station as part of its southern extension. The station building at Longville (another station on the Wenlock, Craven Arms and Lightmoor Extension railway) was a similar but reduced version of that at Coalbookdale. Coalbrookdale railway station is a waypoint on the South Telford Heritage Trail.
