Bucknell railway station serves the village of Bucknell in Shropshire, England 28¼ miles (45.5km) south west of Shrewsbury.
This railway station is located at street level, adjacent to the level crossing and parallel with Weston Road near the centre of the village. All trains serving the station are operated by Arriva Trains Wales.
The station has two platforms, although currently only the one adjacent to the original station building (now a private house) is operational, the other track having been lifted.
The station and line was constructed by the Knighton Railway and opened in 1861. Further construction and route openings in 1865 & 1868 subsequently put the station on a through route between Shrewsbury and Swansea.

[edit] Services
There are four passenger trains a day in each direction, running between Shrewsbury and Swansea, from Monday to Saturday, and two services on Sundays.
The station is a request stop for trains running from Shrewsbury to Swansea and those wishing to alight or board the train here must alert the driver/conductor of the train. Passenger trains running from Swansea to Shrewsbury however do stop here automatically, as the train has to stop before the un-gated level crossing.
[edit] Bus service
A local bus service (the Arriva 738/740) runs by the station, which travels between Ludlow and Knighton and calls at the nearby villages of Bedstone, Clungunford and Leintwardine.
