Information About

Church Stretton Railway Station




Trains operate approximately hourly (Monday to Saturday) along the Welsh Marches Line from Cardiff Central to Manchester Piccadilly (although not all trains stop in Church Stretton), via Hereford , Shrewsbury and Crewe . Services operate infrequently on Sundays. There are four trains a day (two on Sundays) in each direction along the Heart of Wales Line.

The track through the station is prone to Flooding when heavy rain occurs, as it is at the bottom of the Valley which Church Stretton is found in. In Autumn 2000 the space between the two platforms resembled a canal and train services had to be cancelled along the line.

The signal box at Church Stretton closed in 2004 and the points/cross-overs at the station are now defunct.
