→Eardington in preservation: Eardington 150
During the period of [[Sir Gerald Nabarro]]'s chairmanship it was closed in connection with the possible rebuilding of Eardington as the northern terminus on the line. It later re-opened in March 1981, but last appeared in the timetable as a request stop in 1982,<ref name = "Marshall103">The Severn Valley Railway, John Marshall (1989) p103</ref> after which it was removed from regular use due to the steep gradient, short platform, and low passenger numbers<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eardington_Halt_railway_station Wikipedia]</ref>.
The halt has since been cosmetically restored by the Friends and is occasionally opened to visitors on gala days. On 2-3 June 2018 it will stage "'''Eardington 150'''" to mark the halt's 150th birthday. The station will be open to the public on both days with various special attractions (trains do not stop). The event coincides with the SVR's [[Current events on the Severn Valley Railway#Forthcoming special events|Goods Gala]].
