===Objectives===
The Bridgnorth site is the subject of a 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. Later phases will see improved car parking facilities, installation of a [[Bridgnorth Turntable|turntable in the station yard]] and, subject to funding, construction of a new volunteer accommodation building.
*March 2018: A project team is working on the specification of the West side project, which includes the field car park, access roads and [[Bridgnorth Turntable|turntable]]. It is intended to tender for this phase during the summer of 2018.<ref>SVR NBI March 2018</ref> First phase work, much delayed, continued with the first roof slates being laid by the end of the month.
