More info: Highley railway station in Shropshire, is the only station on the Severn Valley Railway (SVR) with one platform. The other stops with single platforms are request stops.
Highley station was important as the transport hub of a colliery district, with four nearby coal mines linked to the Severn Valley line by standard and narrow gauge lines, cable inclines and aerial ropeways .
The SVR first ran trains from Bridgnorth via Hampton Loade to Highley on the Easter weekend of April 1974. The first passenger service was the 09:30 from Bridgnorth with GWR Railcar 22, followed by the 12:45 steam service hauled by No 600 Gordon. That weekend saw 16,000 passenger journeys.
For the next month, Highley was the southern terminus of the SVR while repair work to the underbridge south of the station was completed.
The SVR has built a visitor centre, known as the Engine House, a little south of the station.
