Berrington was a station on the original Severn Valley line, located at milepost 168m 12c, 36½ miles from Hartlebury and 4¼ miles from Shrewsbury. When opened it had a single platform and siding, being expanded to a passing loop with two platforms, a signal box, and more significant sidings in 1894.[1] The station closed on 9 September 1963, when passenger services between Bewdley and Shrewsbury were withdrawn.
