The SVR's stance on reopening this section is not straightforward. Its website states: "the railway land north of Bridgnorth has been long since sold, and there is now no possibility of Severn Valley trains reaching Ironbridge and Shrewsbury ever again."<ref>[http://www.svr.co.uk/Consolidation.aspx SVR Website] (retrieved 5 April 2018)</ref> However its official Souvenir Guide, after listing some of the obstacles needing to be addressed, ends "So, never say never...".<ref>[[Bibliography#SVR Publications|Souvenir Guide Ninth Edition, 2012, p. 30.]]</ref> In 2002 SVR News reported that at a recent [[SVR(H)]] Board meeting [[Paul Fathers]] had agreed to monitor developments in the north and keep the Board informed.<ref>SVR News 142 p. 67.</ref> The railway has at other occasions given its position as a 'watching brief', it will not on its own to seek to reopen the line, but possibly is open to providing technical support to any plans to reopen.
