Cressage railway station was a stop on the Severn Valley Railway; it served the village of Cressage in Shropshire, England.
The station opened on 1 February 1862, with a single platform and a siding.[1] By 1898, it had acquired an additional platform along with a signal box; the sidings had been expanded.
The station was listed in the Beeching Report as a "passenger station already under consideration for closure before the formulation of the report."[2] It closed on 9 September 1963.[1]
The station building is now a private residence and has been extended.
