add reference to bus garage
When the bus service was introduced in 1904, the GWR were in the process of making plans for a [[Wolverhampton#Proposed Railways between Wolverhampton and Bridgnorth | railway between Wolverhampton and Bridgnorth]], which was later made possible by an Act of Parliament, the GWR Additional Powers Act (July 1905). However having already introduced the bus service, the GWR then took no steps to build this railway. They continued to operate the bus service until 2 June 1923, when it was taken over by Wolverhampton Corporation<ref name = "Marshall" />.
One of the buses was housed in a small garage next to the station building. The garage, with its arched roof and black corrugated iron cladding, can be seen behind the pannier tank in the Sellick photograph and behind 46443 in David Cooke’s photograph. It has since been [[GWR Bus Garage (Ex Bridgnorth) | restored at Kidderminster]].
