==Signalling controlled from the Box==
[[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.
Signals 0 and 33, the Down and Up Distants respectively, are motor worked. Signal 33 is mounted beneath Bewdley North's Signal 3, and is electrically slotted.
