Codsall railway station is a two platform station on the Wolverhampton to Shrewsbury Line serving the village of Codsall in Staffordshire, England. The original listed GWR footbridge between the two platforms was accidentally destroyed by contractors using a road-rail crane in June 2005. Five of the original cast iron columns have been damaged beyond repair. The pattern to cast the replacement replicas was at Barr and Grosvenor's foundry in Wolverhampton on 9 February 2007.
The existing signal box, which stands to the east of Codsall station, has been taken out of use and control of the area passed to Madeley Junction as a result of the 2006 resignalling scheme. It is understood this GWR signal box may be relocated to a heritage railway.
