Eardington Bank
From SVR Wiki
Eardington Bank is situated between Hampton Loade and Bridgnorth. Beginning at Sterns, the bank climbs for around 1½ miles, passing Hay Bridge, Eardington Station and Crossing Cottage to reach the summit, which is marked by a board on the right of the line travelling towards Bridgnorth. According to the board, the summit is at 210 feet above sea level (ASL).
The Gradient profile shows the whole climb to be at 1 in 100 apart from a brief respite of 1 in 200 passing Eardington.
For much of 2015 the area near the top of the bank has been subject to a speed restriction pending re-sleepering of that section of line, which is scheduled for the winter of 2015-16.
