History
The station was originally named ‘Coalport’ at opening on 10 June 1861.[1] It was later renamed ‘Coalport East’ to avoid confusion with the Severn Valley Railway Coalport station which opened on the opposite bank of the river Severn in 1862.
The station was host to a LMS caravan from 1934 to 1939.[2]
Coalport East closed to passengers on 2 June 1952,[1] and to freight traffic in 1960.[3]
