The station (opened in 1849) is located on a viaduct/causeway high above the village itself. It is on the Wolverhampton–Shrewsbury line. When Shifnal was controlled by semaphore signalling it boasted a three-storey signal box. The building by the entrance at street level is not in railway use and there are no permanent buildings left at platform level.[1]
