Cressage was a station on the original Severn Valley line, 32 miles 24 chains from [[Hartlebury]]. When the line opened in 1862 it had a single platform and a siding, but by 1893/94 it had acquired an additional platform with a passing loop and signal box<ref>Severn Valley Railway, A View From the Past, M A Vanns</ref>.
The station closed on 9 September 1963, when passenger services between [[Bewdley]] and [[Shrewsbury ]] were suspended. The former station master’s house is now a private residence. <gallery>File:Cressage-5153-1963-03-02.jpg|Ex-GWR 5153 passes Cressage with an up goods in March 1963 (Sellick collection)</gallery>
