Changes

:The winter saw a major infrastructure project, initiated by Severn Trent Water, which involved replacing three of the four large diameter water pipes bringing water from the Elan Valley to Birmingham where they cross under the trackbed between Bewdley and Arley near [[Folly Point]]. The replacement work was carried out by STW's contractors, but SVR staff and volunteers removed and replaced the trackbed and signalling equipment to enable the work to be carried out. Due to the lack of good road access to the aqueduct, the replacement pipes were transported from [[Bewdley]] station to the worksite by rail, using contracted SVR equipment in the form of diesel shunter [[Ruston and Hornsby 165hp Diesel Shunter D2957319290|D2957319290]] and [[GWR 60841 Bogie Bolster|Gane 'A' 60841]] <ref>http://www.svrlive.com/Pages/Infrastructure.aspx</ref>. The project over-ran, meaning the first 3 days of re-opening for half term week could not run between Bewdley and Highley.
