Coalbrookdale: Coalbrookdale (referred to by BR as Ironbridge Gorge) was a temporary station in existence from 1987 - 1990, sponsored by the local authority and Ironbridge Trust. It was unadvertised until 1990 when it appeared in the all line timetable with two trains each way on Sundays only from 29/06 - 02/09. Trains ran past the location to the reception sidings at Ironbridge PS where they reversed to gain the up line then ran forward to the single platform provided.

This long driveway is the old station approach road, which now leads to the Pot Place garden centre and tea rooms.

This has replaced bus route 472 which, amid much opposition from local residents, ran for the last time on the previous day.
