The former GWR line northwards towards Shrewsbury is now used as a cycle way for most of its ten mile course as far as Ironbridge. The intermediate former station buildings at Linley and Coalport remain as private houses, and at Ironbridge and Broseley there is a restaurant, serving “no nonsense bistro food” [according to its website], which may well be a relief to some, I suppose. Coalport station building also has a B&B function and two Mark 1 carriages available for hire. One very small section of track remains in situ, next to level crossing gates near Jacksfield.
interesting thanks Mike.
ReplyDeleteNice piece, I would love to see the SVR grow, it's a major railway now, imagine what it could be
