Berrington railway station
Former railway station in Shropshire, England / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Berrington railway station was a railway station on the Severn Valley line serving the village of Berrington, Shropshire. It opened in 1862[1] with a single platform and a siding. By 1894[2] it had acquired an additional platform along with a signal box and the sidings had been expanded. Despite the name it was actually closer to the neighbouring village of Cross Houses. Although thought by some people to have been closed as part of the Beeching axe in 1963 its planned closure pre-dated his report. The station and its buildings now house a private dwelling.
