__TOC__
Bridgnorth is the current Northern terminus of the SVR. It has two platforms, a yard, and a [[Bridgnorth signal box|signal box]]. The next station in the Up direction towards [[Kidderminster]] is [[Hampton Loade]]. The original Severn Valley Railway continued northwards towards Ironbridge through a 550 yard long tunnel underneath Bridgnorth High Town. From time to time the possibility of re-opening the section of the line north of Bridgnorth is raised on discussion forums and elsewhere. The official stance of the SVR varies somewhat confusingly between ''"maintaining a watching brief"'' and ''"the railway land north of Bridgnorth has been long since sold, and there is now no possibility of Severn Valley trains reaching Ironbridge and Shrewsbury ever again"''.
Bridgnorth is home to the [[SVR Loco Works]]. Bridgnorth MPD (motive power department) is the principal base for the Railway's locomotives. Bridgnorth is also home to two new build projects, BR Class 3 locomotive [[BR 3MT 82045 | 82045]] and a replica of the Trevithick locomotive [[Catch Me Who Can]].
