Changes

Bridgnorth is the current Northern terminus of the SVR. It has two platforms connected by a [[Bridgnorth Station Footbridge|footbridge]], a yard, and a [[Bridgnorth signal box|signal box]]. The original Severn Valley Railway continued northwards towards Ironbridge through [[Bridgnorth Tunnel|a 550 yard long tunnel ]] underneath Bridgnorth High Town. From time to time the possibility of re-opening the section of the line north of Bridgnorth is raised on discussion forums and elsewhere. The official stance of the SVR has over time varied between ''"maintaining a watching brief"'' and ''"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"''. An application by [[The Ironbridge Railway Trust]] in 2021 to the 'Restoring Your Railway Ideas Fund' was unsuccessful.
