Walcot railway station was a station in Walcot, Shropshire, England. The station was sited on the Wolverhampton to Shrewsbury line west of Wellington (Shropshire) and opened on 1 June 1849. It closed on 7 September 1964 (along with the other intermediate stations on this stretch of line and the Wellington to Stafford branch line) as a result of the Beeching Axe.[1]
The station was demolished after closure and no trace now remains.
