Coalport Station was located 25 miles from Hartlebury and 15¾ miles from Shrewsbury. Like [[Ironbridge]], the station was inconveniently situated on the opposite bank of the river from the town it served. The town was most noted for the Coalport China Works of John Rose & Co, although this was mainly served by sidings of the nearby LNWR branch line from Hadley Junction near Wellington on the opposite side of the river to the SVR line. Perhaps for these reasons Coalport was, in 1895, the last of the Severn Valley Railway's stations to be upgraded by the provision of second platform with passing loop and fully interlocked signal box.
