context_page_description: Bucknell railway station serves the village of Bucknell in Shropshire, England 28 ¹⁄₄ miles south west of Shrewsbury on the Heart of Wales Line.
  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 Transport for Wales.
  The station has two platforms, although currently only the one adjacent to the original station building is operational, the other track having been lifted in the early 1960s.
context_section_description: The station and line was constructed by the Knighton Railway and opened in 1861. Further construction and route openings in 1865 and 1868 subsequently put the station on a through route between Shrewsbury and Swansea.
  Bucknell station quickly became the rail outlet for a wide area, stimulating a growth in the village itself.
