SVR/BR Boundary: additional info
== SVR/BR Boundary ==
After Shortly after BR closed the Bewdley-Kidderminster line in 1970, the SVR acquired the closure section of the line between Alveley Colliery and Foley Park. Passenger services between Bridgnorth and Bewdley began in 1974, but the only onward traffic from Bewdley-through Foley Park to Kidderminster was main lineexcursions and rolling stock movements under BR control.  In March 1977 Major Olver of the Railway Inspectorate approved the section between Bewdley and Foley Park for SVR passenger use (this normally took place only during galas, as services had to be ‘top and tailed’ due to the absence of a run round loop at Foley Park). To control access between BR and the SVR, two two-lever ground frames sets of points were moved from [[Alveley Sidings]] to Foley Park in early 1977 and installed at an unknown date on the single line adjacent to the sidingsto act as trap points, used to control access between BR and the one in each direction.<ref>SVRNews 44</ref>. It appears they Two two-lever ground frames were also installed; each controlled a single trap point and associated FPL, with an SVR GF controlling traps in one direction, and a BR GF controlling traps in the other. The ground frames can be seen in this photograph: [http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/77903-ground-shunting-signals-help-request-please/?p=1205923 Link].
