→1965: SLS railtour details
BR granted the Society access to the Bridgnorth Station site in exchange for a rent of £5 per month, and regular Sunday afternoon de-weeding of the track and painting of the buildings began.
On 19 September 1965 the Stephenson Locomotive Society visited Alveley with a special train from [[Bewdley]], hauled by GWR locomotives 4555 and 1420. This formed part of a longer rail tour which began at Birmingham Snow Hill and reached Bewdley via Worcester, hauled by [[61994 The Great Marquess|LNER 3442 The Great Marquess]].<ref>[http://www.sixbellsjunction.co.uk/60s/650919sl.html Six Bells Junction]</ref> The visit helped publicise the SVR's preservation scheme.
