Foley park ground frame installed 2020
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 sets of points were moved from [[Alveley Sidings]] to Foley Park in early 1977 and installed on the single line adjacent to the sidings to act as trap points, one in each direction.<ref>SVR News 44</ref>. 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].
==Foley Park (2020)==
Over the winter of 2019/2020, during track relaying, the SVR took the opportunity to install a refurbished ground frame at [[Foley Park]], in preparation for possible future uses of the site. These include a possible future station serving the [[Safari Park]] and developments on the former sugar works site, and the proposed [[Wagon Review Group|Wagon shed]].
