Craven Arms railway station serves the town of Craven Arms, in Shropshire, England. Until 1974, it was known as Craven Arms and Stokesay, after the nearby coaching inn (the town having not come into being prior to the arrival of the railways) and the historic settlement of Stokesay to the south. It is situated at the junction of the Welsh Marches Line and the Heart of Wales Line, 20 miles (32 km) south of Shrewsbury. All passenger trains calling at the station are operated by Transport for Wales, which also manages it.
