Condover railway station was located in the village of Condover, Shropshire.[2]

Originally built by the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway, the station closed a few years before the Beeching Axe, but its line, the Welsh Marches Line, is still operational.

The station building is now a cattery and kennels.
