additional info and links
The short length of remaining track is now used as a siding. This was the originally built connection route of the original Severn Valley line dating from 1862, connecting [[Bewdley]] and stations to the north with the main line at [[Hartlebury]]to the south. The [[Kidderminster]] to Bewdley link used by the present day SVR opened in 1878. The area between the two lines is commonly referred to as the [[BewdleyStourport Triangle]] line followed some years lateror Bewdley Triangle.
There was an intermediate halt on the branch between Bewdley and [[Stourport]], just beyond the tunnel at [[Burlish Halt|Burlish]].
 
The SVR owns the track bed of the Stourport Branch almost as far as Burlish Halt. The first ¾ mile was re-laid in 1975 for filming of [[The Seven-Per-Cent Solution]] to take place. Part of this short length of track is now used as a siding.
