Shifnal railway station is a railway station which serves the town of Shifnal in Shropshire, England. The station is managed by West Midlands Trains, who provide the majority of services that call here (it is also served by Transport for Wales).
The station (opened in 1849) is located on a viaduct/causeway high above the village itself. It is on the Wolverhampton–Shrewsbury line. When Shifnal was controlled by semaphore signalling it boasted a three-storey signal box. The building by the entrance at street level is not in railway use and there are no permanent buildings left at platform level.[1]
Facilities
The station is unstaffed, but does have a ticket machine. Waiting shelters are provided on both platforms and service running information is given via CIS displays, timetable poster boards and customer help points on each side. Level access is possible from the car park on the Birmingham-bound platform (1) only - the main entrance on Market Place is below platform level and is only accessible via a staircase, whilst the footbridge between the two platforms also has steps.[2]
