Church Stretton railway station in Church Stretton, Shropshire, England, is a station on the Welsh Marches Line, south of Shrewsbury railway station; trains on the Heart of Wales Line also serve the station. All trains services are operated by Arriva Trains Wales, who also manage the station. The station is the highest point of the line between Shrewsbury and Craven Arms, and is the highest station in Shropshire. On the northbound platform, a small plinth notes the station's altitude: above sea level. ==History==
The station opened on 20 April 1852 as part of the newly-created Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway. It was originally to the north of what is now Sandford Avenue and the old station building still remains, but is no longer in railway use. Sandford Avenue had been for centuries called Lake Lane and became Station Road with the arrival of the railway in the town, before becoming Sandford Avenue in 1884.〔Crowe and Raynor (2011) ''Church Stretton through the ages''〕 The original station building was designed by Thomas Mainwaring Penson. In 1914, the station was relocated just to the south of the Sandford Avenue road bridge. New station buildings were erected, but these were demolished in 1970, the station having become unstaffed in 1967. Today, the only station structures in use are two passenger shelters on the platforms and a footbridge.〔
