[[File: Bewdley_Tunnel_20150528.jpg |thumb|300px|right| Bewdley Tunnel southern portal (the end nearest Bewdley), looking towards Kidderminster]]
Bewdley tunnel ("Bridge" 6) is 480 yards long and is situated on the [[Acceptance Lever]] worked single line section between [[Kidderminster]] and [[Bewdley]]. Its small bore is attributable to it being relined in 1908.
The track through the tunnel was replaced as part of a major refurbishment during the winter of 2011-12. In order to simplify future maintenance the existing jointed track was replaced by continuously welded rail (CWR), resulting in the absence of the traditional 'clickety-click' from the wheels as the train passes through the tunnel.
