Eardington Halt is a disused station, located between Bridgnorth and Hampton Loade. It was used sporadically in the early days of the railway, but was removed from regular use due to the steep gradient, short platform, and low passenger numbers. The halt has been cosmetically restored by the Friends of Eardington Station, and is occasionally opened to visitors on gala days.
A dead-end siding is situated at Eardington, usually used for storing Permanent Way rolling stock, accessed by a two-lever ground frame at the south end. This is released by the Highley-Bridgnorth long section token, and was commissioned in 1976.
