Cressage railway station was a railway station on the Severn Valley line. It opened on 1 February 1862[1] with a single platform and a siding. By 1898 it had acquired an additional platform along with a signal box and the sidings had been expanded. Although thought by some people to have been closed as part of the Beeching axe in 1963 its planned closure pre-dated his report.
