*June 2018 In the rear service yard area, the “Bovey Tracey” outbuilding building had the framework erected and covered in breathable felt ready for the external corrugated cladding to be applied. This is based on a goods lock up that used to adorn Bovey Tracey station on the Moretonhampstead branch in Devon. The SVR version will serve as a plant room housing the heating boiler and food preparation area for the volunteer [[Severn Valley Venturer]] catering staff.
*July 2018 a completion and hand-over was forecast for the third week in July.<ref>SVR News 201, p. 15</ref>. This was followed by a revised plan to open on 3 September. An announcement in September gave a date of end of 2018, with a formal opening in Spring 2019.<ref>SVR Forum, September 2018</ref>
