→Opening: 1922 staff
At opening on 1 February 1862, Berrington had a single platform and siding, with the station building on the east (Cross Houses) side of the line. On 14 June 1893 the GWR authorised the construction of a passing loop with a second platform which became the Down platform. This platform was provided with a platform shelter. The Up platform was also extended, and a signal box and more significant sidings provided. The authorised cost of this work was £1,068. A year later on 14 June 1894 the work was approved by the Board of Trade inspector, Major Yorke, although he required a ladies’ waiting room and WC to be provided on the Up platform. The GWR approved the construction of this at a cost of £240 on 8 August 1894.<ref>[[Bibliography#Books|Marshall (1989)]] p. 112.</ref><ref name = Vanns/>
A level crossing with a crossing keeper's cottage, [[Shropshire Historic Environment Record|now demolished]], was situated a short distance down the line to the south east. To the north west, around two miles nearer Shrewsbury at 33m 30c, the Branch reached its summit level of 217 feet<ref>[[Bibliography#Books|Marshall (1989)]] p. 112.</ref>. [[SVR staff in 1922#Severn Valley Railway (North of Bridgnorth)|GWR staff records for 1922]] show the station had a staff of 6.
