Platform rebuild
During the period of [[Sir Gerald Nabarro]]'s chairmanship it was closed in connection with the possible rebuilding of Eardington as the northern terminus on the line. It later re-opened in March 1981, but last appeared in the timetable as a request stop in 1982,<ref name = "Marshall103">The Severn Valley Railway, John Marshall (1989) p103</ref> after which it was removed from regular use due to the steep gradient, short platform, and low passenger numbers<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eardington_Halt_railway_station Wikipedia]</ref>.
The halt has since been cosmetically restored by the Friends of Eardington Station, and is occasionally opened to visitors on gala days. ===The platform===The southern end of the platform was cut back after it collapsed, however the Friends held a fundraising appeal to replace the missing part;<ref>SVRA Working Members Newsletter November 2014</ref> it was reported on 27 October 2016 that sufficient funds had been raised to purchase the required replacement GWR bricks.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Eardingtonstn/status/791730973977219072 Eardington Station Twitter Feed], retrieved 01 Nov 1 November 2016</ref> In January 2018 rebuilding of the platform wall commenced.<ref>[http://www.svrlive.com/eardington-station SVRLive]</ref>
