Buildwas, officially Buildwas Junction, station was situated 28½ miles from [[Hartlebury]] and 12¼ miles from [[Shrewsbury]]. It was an interchange station in open countryside with no passenger access other than by rail, and was built on two levels. The station building was of a similar design to that at [[Bewdley]].

In the early 1960s a second power station, Ironbridge B, was in course of construction. The station closed along with the Severn Valley Line in 1963, and was demolished in 1964 to make way for a new coal handling plant for the power station.
==Station name==
The station was named Buildwas in [[The Severn Valley Railway under GWR/BR ownership#Timetable extracts | timetables]], and also appeared as such in the 1963 notice of closure. However the station running in board showed the name as “Buildwas Junction”;<ref>[[Bibliography#Books | Vanns (2013)]] p. 31.</ref> this version was also shown on Ordnance Survey maps as above.
