Bucknell railway station serves the village of Bucknell in Shropshire, England 28+1⁄4 miles (45.5 km) south west of Shrewsbury on the Heart of Wales Line. This railway station is located at street level, adjacent to the level crossing and parallel with Weston Road near the centre of the village. All trains serving the station are operated by Transport for Wales. The station has two platforms, although currently only the one adjacent to the original station building (now a private house and holiday cottage, which has been Grade-II listed since 1987) is operational, the other track having been taken out of use in 1965 and subsequently dismantled.
