Phase 2 works 2024
In May 2022 the [[Charitable Trust]] launched an appeal to help raise £500,000 to restore Bridgnorth Locomotive Yard. The introduction to the appeal noted that "''Bridgnorth Locomotive Yard is used daily for steam locomotive servicing and maintenance - and is the only way to access the Locomotive Works by rail - but it's in desperate need of repair. The current track was laid in the 1970s using second-hand materials and, through extensive care, has lasted 50 years, much longer than expected. However it's now reached the end of its life.''" It was the subject of the [[:Category:SVR fundraising lotteries|2022 raffle]].
After preparatory work in December 2022, Phase 1 of the project began in January 2023 with work on [[Cleobury Road Bridge]] and the turnout leading to Platform 2 and the locomotive yard. The next phase in 2024 involved replacing rails and the turnout on roads 1 and 2 (the roads nearest to the station) using components recovered from Brownhills, plus alterations to the pit on road 2 and levelling the yard<ref>[https://www.svrlive.com/blfeb24 Branch Lines February 2024]</ref>.
