Add modern photo of station (albeit not a terribly good one)

Bridgnorth is the current Northern terminus of the SVR. It has two platforms, a yard, and a [[Bridgnorth signal box|signal box]]. The next station in the Up direction towards [[Kidderminster]] is [[Hampton Loade]]. The original Severn Valley Railway continued northwards towards Ironbridge through a 550 yard long tunnel underneath Bridgnorth High Town. From time to time the possibility of re-opening the section of the line north of Bridgnorth is raised on discussion forums and elsewhere. The official stance of the SVR varies somewhat confusingly between ''"maintaining a watching brief"'' and ''"the railway land north of Bridgnorth has been long since sold, and there is now no possibility of Severn Valley trains reaching Ironbridge and Shrewsbury ever again"''.
