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.
{{As of|In 2015|12}}, Rail Safety Solutions (RSS) have entered an agreement with the SVR to lease the branch as far as Mount Pleasant tunnel, for the purposes of training Network Rail apprentices in track laying and maintenance. In exchange, the SVR will gain ongoing training for its own staff, as well as use of the relaid track for occasional train services.<ref>SVR News 192, "General Manager's Notes", Nick Ralls</ref>{{As of|2016|01}} preparations are being made to move much of the SVR equipment stored in the area to allow RSS clear access. ==See also==[[Maps#Schematic_maps_of_the_pre-closure_SVR | Pre-1963 map]]
