Changes

[[File:Southern approach to Bewdley.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Signals on the approach to Bewdley South]]Most of the signals at Bewdley South are of late GWR/BR(W) steel tubular post and enamel arm design, however Signals 5, 6, 7, 9, 14 and 20 are mounted on two wooden post bracket signals and are of the earlier GWR 'wasp-tail' design. Many of the signals at Bewdley South are of pre-preservation vintage, because the layout has been so little altered. However, the large bracket outside of the signal box carrying signals 6, 7, 9 and 14 did not carry signal 14 or Bewdley North's Down distant signals pre-preservation, and the opposite bracket carrying signals 5 and 20 did not carry the bracket for signal 20 or a distant either, and it has been shortened somewhat to combat rot discovered in the lower end of the post.  The wooden posts on the larger bracket were replaced in 2006 but were declared unsafe in 2020, with a temporary replacement prepared.<ref>[https://www.svrlive.com/epsep20 Express Points newsletter, September 2020] (Retrieved 29 August 2020)</ref>Between 28 September and 2 October 2020, under an absolute possession, the wooden Inner Home bracket was removed using a MEWP (a rail mounted Mobile Elevated Working Platform) and the Bridgnorth steam crane. Temporary signals consisting of a 35 foot metal post carrying signals 6, 7 and a fixed distant, and a double disc ground signal carrying signals 9 and 14 were installed at the same time and were commissioned on 2 October 2020. The wooden post was removed to Bewdley Yard for stripping down. It is planned to construct a replacement wooden bracket signal.
