Changes

A lineside public viewing area is situated at the foot of [[#Pan_Pudding_Hill | Pan Pudding Hill]], on the opposite side of the line from Platform 1. This can normally be accessed by taking the steps down from the car park near the Railwayman's Arms pub (the '[[Donkey Gallops]]') and going through the [[Engine Shed Underpass]]. A flight of steps on the right then leads up to the viewing area. When access is allowed to the Bridgnorth Works (normally only during Gala events), access to the viewing area is possible direct from the south end of Platform 2.

The Bridgnorth site is the subject of a re-development project, the first phase of which will see the long-overdue removal of the Portacabin style Refreshment room (installed in 1979 "as a temporary measure"<ref>SVR News 51</ref>; previous buffet facilities having been in an old [[Carriages formerly resident on the SVR#Carriages formerly at the SVR but later moved elsewhere | BR Mk 1 Tourist Second Open]]), and its replacement with a circa-1900 Great Western style single-storey building which will be located to the south of the existing Jacobean style station building. The first phase of the project will also see the refurbishment of the existing station building including the booking hall, shop, and Railwayman's Arms. Subject to funding, later phases will see improved car parking facilities, installation of a turntable in the station yard, and construction of a new volunteer accommodation building.

Plans and illustrations of the proposed development were put on public display in the booking office at the station in September 2015. The planning application was submitted to Shropshire Council on 13 January 2016,<ref>[http://forum.svra.org.uk/viewtopic.php?t=2422&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=720 SVR Forum]</ref> and approved by the Council in August 2016.<ref>[http://www.svr.co.uk/NewsItem.aspx?a=742 SVR Website news item]</ref>
