*June 2018 In the rear service yard area, the “Bovey Tracey” outbuilding building had the framework erected and covered in breathable felt ready for the external corrugated cladding to be applied. This is based on a goods lock up that used to adorn Bovey Tracey station on the Moretonhampstead branch in Devon. The SVR version will serve as a plant room housing the heating boiler and food preparation area for the volunteer [[Severn Valley Venturer]] catering staff.
*July 2018 a completion and hand-over was forecast for the third week in July.<ref>SVR News 201, p. 15</ref>. This was followed by a revised plan to open on 3 September. An announcement in September gave a date of end of 2018, with a formal opening in Spring 2019.<ref>SVR Forum, September 2018</ref>
* October 2018 the former ‘overflow’ parking field was closed for contractors to construct a carefully surfaced, illuminated 200-space visitor West car park and access/egress roadsroutes. * November 2018 at the north end of the station contractors commenced laying a concreted access route from the new West car park to the station, past the boiler shop * December 2018 the contractors' site offices and associated buildings were removed from the station car park following the practical completion of the much delayed, as yet unopened, new station building. The toilets and new car park opened.
