Linley

Linley Station was located 22½ miles from Hartlebury and 18¼ miles from Shrewsbury. The Severn Valley Railway passes through the Apley Park estate, owned at the time of the line’s construction by Thomas C Whitmore. Whitmore opposed the construction, and one of his conditions to which the Severn Valley Railway Company had to accede was the provision of a station at which at least two trains per day in each direction could be stopped on request. Linley Station, built to meet this condition, had no public access.

Following closure of the line in 1962, the station was demolished.
