Ownership of the line passed from BR to the Admiralty in May 1957, the occasional haulage by now being provided by Ruston & Hornsby 0-4-0 diesel shunters. Navy use of the line continued until 1960, when the railway finally closed (some Admiralty equipment was moved from the Depot by rail thereafter).
The line was considered as a possible candidate for preservation in the [[Severn Valley Railway Timeline 1965-1969#1965 | early days]] of the [[Severn Valley Railway Society]], but was deemed unsuitable because of its remoteness and the relatively light axle load limits.
