A Station At Hadley

Hadley is a possible station in Telford.

This Google Map shows the area around Hadley.

There are two railway lines in the area, both of which had Hadley stations in the past.

• The Wolverhampton and Shrewsbury Line goes across the map from Wellington station in the West to Oakengates station in the East. New Hadley Halt station was on this line.
• There is also a short single-track line on the route of the Stafford to Shrewsbury Line, that leads in a North-Easterly direction to the Telford International Railfreight Park. Hadley station was on this line.

As the single-track line doesn’t go past the Railfreight Park, it would appear that the new station will be built on the Wolverhampton and Shrewsbury Line.

Ironically, New Hadley Halt shation closed the day after Telford Central station opened.

British Rail didn’t seem to have the word future-proofing in their vocabulary.
