Major milestones in the project have been as follows:
*October 2009: Plans for a refurbishment of the Bridgnorth station site began with the announcement of the Project Development Teams.<ref>SVR News 167, General Manager's Notes</ref>
*October 2012: The SVR launched a [[Severn Valley Railway (Holdings) PLC#Share_offers|share offer]] to raise funds for various objectives, including developing the Bridgnorth Station site. Plans and illustrations of the proposed development were put on public display at Bridgnorth, attended by the steering group and architectural team to provide answers to questions and receive comments. Written comments submitted were published, over 100 in total, with "Overall, the feedback has been very positive with over 70% of people attending the exhibition being supportive, albeit with comments both practical and aesthetic as to how the proposals could be improved" (SVR General Manager).<ref>[https://forum.svr-online.org.uk/viewtopic.php?t=2422&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=225 SVRA forum thread] (Retrieved 12 June 2017)</ref>
