Doseley Halt railway station was a station serving the village of Doseley in Shropshire, England. The station was opened in 1932 and closed in 1962.[2]
The station is the currently not in use and is eventually due to become part of the Telford Steam Railway alongside part of the former Wellington to Craven Arms Railway to Ironbridge power station. This would see new stations opened at Doseley[3], Lightmoor[4], Coalbrookdale[5] and close to Buildwas for Ironbridge[6] which includes proposals for a park and ride with passenger services between Ironbridge and Birmingham New Street.[7]
