In spring 1993 SVR News noted that a tightening up of workshop and inspection procedures had been introduced following an investigation by Chief Engineer [[Alun Rees]] into the causes of a derailment at Folly Point.<ref>SVR News 106</ref>
In 2006 the area between [[Trimpley Reservoirs & Waterworks|Trimpley Waterworks]] and Folly Point was relaid with new concrete sleepers and flat bottomed rail.<ref>SVR News 154, 156</ref> The following year, Folly Point was one of the many areas on the Railway affected by the [[2007 Storm Damage|freak storms of June 2007]]. An inspection on 20 June, and the day after the first storm, revealed that the hillside above the railway appeared to be pushing the railway towards the river, with the tops of the gabion baskets now leaning outwards. At the same time the river bank itself was being eroded, threatening to undercut the retaining wall. Within a few hours permission had been granted to tip stones into the river to stem the erosion. The area was then one of the first places along the railway Railway where remedial work began. The track was lifted, the whole area dug out and new gabion baskets inserted. Progress was halted and the site was evacuated when the hillside above the railway was found to be moving again. Specialist plant was brought in to install drainage, and another stone gabion wall installed above the railway to prevent further incursion. In early August around 60 tons of stone ballast were brought in to allow lifting and packing of the rails to the correct level, after which the track was relaid<ref>[[Bibliography#Books|Sowden (2012)]] pp. 38-39.</ref>.<ref>SVR News 160, "Track Topics"</ref> A description of the damage and photographs of the repair work in progress are included [[2007 Storm Damage <gallery mode=packed heights=200px style="text-align:left">File:Repairs at Foley Point - geograph.org.uk - 600935.jpg | here]]Repairs at Folly PointFile:Repairs at Foley Point - geograph.org.uk - 600930.jpg | Repairs at Folly Point </gallery>
Immediately south of Folly Point, the [[Elan Valley Aqueduct]] carries water from the Elan Valley across the River Severn. During construction of the aqueduct in 1899, a siding known as '[[Folly Point Siding]]' was constructed for the contractor’s use, but removed in 1906 when the aqueduct was completed.<ref name=JM/> The pipes from the aqueduct that pass underneath the SVR metals were replaced in the winter of [[Severn Valley Railway Timeline 2010-2019#1015 | 2014-15]].
