Yorton railway station serves the villages of Yorton and Clive in Shropshire, England. It is 12km (7¼ miles) north of Shrewsbury on the Welsh Marches Line towards Crewe. It has two platforms. Trains only stop here upon request.The station was designated for the axe in Dr Beeching's "The Reshaping of British Railways" in the 1960s however because it is on the line linking two major cities in Manchester and Cardiff it was ultimately saved.

Nearby is "The Railway Hotel", a public house which has won many accolades for its beer and atmosphere (with "HOTEL" written on the side facing the railway).
