Eardington Halt, Shropshire with an engineering train on one track  during the Severn Valley Railway Spring Steam Festival, 15 April 2021 - the first since the Covid Lockdown! Opened by the GWR as a station simply called Eardington in 1868 specifically to serve the two iron works at Upper Forge and Lower Forge - it was not readily accessible from the two nearby villages of Eardington and Chelmarsh! It was closed in 1963 when the Severn Valley line closed but was reopened in 1970 by the SVR heritage railway as a halt. However, it is rarely served by trains as the platforms are very short and it is on a 1 in 100 gradient.
