Codsall railway station serves the village of Codsall in Staffordshire,England.
The original listed GWR footbridge,between the two platforms and which dated from 1883, [1] was accidentally destroyed by contractors using a road-rail crane in June 2005. Five of the original cast iron columns have been damaged beyond repair. The replacement replica columns were cast at Barr and Grosvenor's foundry in Wolverhampton during 2007. Approximately 70% of the original wrought iron span was found to be salvageable for reuse in the replacement which has been rebuilt a little higher than the original to comply with current regulations. [2]
The GWR signal box stood slightly to the east of Codsall station. [3]

The remaining re-usable parts of the signal box have been relocated to the Dean Forest Railway.
