===Lamps===
An electricity supply has never been installed. The Friends have developed a collection of vintage [http://tilleylamp.co.uk/ Tilley lamps] with a railway provenance, to light the station after dark when open for galas and special occasions.<ref name="SVROnlineForum"/> Eardington is the only remaining station in the UK that is lit entirely by oil lamps. The permission granted in 2023 by the ORR is conditional upon trains not stopping after darkness. In March 2021 the SVR’s YouTube channel included a video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxMR0_dpuWk ''Eardington’s hidden gem – lighting the way for heritage rail on the Severn Valley Railway''] featuring volunteer lampman Phil Harris. The permission granted in 2023 by the ORR is conditional upon trains not stopping after darkness. <youtube>bxMR0_dpuWk</youtube>

It is intended for the [[Bridgnorth Turntable|Bridgnorth turntable project]].This film shows the turntable's removal from Bristol and transport to Eardington. <youtube>3Hnh0LJC_Qc</youtube>
