→Before construction: 1845-1858: additional history
Plans for a railway between Shrewsbury and Worcester via the Severn Valley were also drawn up by the '''[[Shropshire Union Railways and Canal Company]]''' between 1845 and 1846, although these too never came to fruition.
In 1852, during the early stages of the formation of the Severn Valley Railway Company which would eventually build the railway, [[Linley|Thomas Whitmore]] sponsored a rival proposal, the '''Shrewsbury, Ironbridge and Bridgnorth Railway'''. A Bill to construct the railway was introduced to Parliament in February 1853 but was thrown out in June of that year.<ref>[[Bibliography#Books|Marshall (1989)]] p. 24.</ref>
