::::The part about "trains can not be crossed at Eardington" refers only to signalling, rather than the station's status -- whilst there was (is) a siding, it cannot be used to shunt one train whilst another passes. Is there a different between being downgraded to a request stop and to a halt? In my mind, the two have always been synonymous, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was some subtlety. For the official name, I guess there is the fact that the SVR currently refers to it as "Eardington Halt" on the website... --[[User:Danny252|Danny252]] ([[User talk:Danny252|talk]]) 13:49, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
: The Latest SVR Souvenir Guide refers to the station as 'Eardington' and states that it "''...was reduced to unstaffed status (although never deemed a 'Halt') after 1 April 1949.''" It also states that Eardington was ''"deemed a 'Halt'"'' in its 'second life', although I don't know to what extent that was put into practice. The SVR guides for 1972/73 and 1980 both used 'Eardington', as does the running in board to this day. --[[User:Robin|Robin]] ([[User talk:Robin|talk]]) 14:58, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
::This doesn't really add anything new to the debate, but I thought it worth mentioning that we now have an example of the [[Media:Timetable Shrewsbury to Worcester 1953.jpg | 1953 timetable]] which lists it as Eardington Halt.
==Was Eardington actually renamed before preservation?==
