A signal box at Bewdley, working to Bewdley North and Kidderminster. Bewdley South signal box has interesting arrangements in that it works to Bewdley North by Absolute Block on the main line (platforms 1 & 2), by direction levers under ETT Regulations on the Back Road (platform 3) with the Rock Siding and DownIn reference to the direction of travel means away from the major terminus (i.e. towards Bridgnorth on the present day SVR) Yard operated as through sidings. Operation to Kidderminster is via Acceptance Lever.

The box won a National Railway Heritage Award, the Westinghouse Signaling Award, in 2007.

Signalling diagram as shown on the svrsig website. There are a few inaccuracies: Signals 28 & 31 at the south end of platform 2&3 are actually to the LEFT of platform 3 line, next to the Rock Siding exit dummy. Dummy 14 by south box replaced by short-arm semaphore [for Rock Siding].
