Foley Park (2020): Added 2020 signal diagram
The installation of the ground frame was described in the S&T Department's [http://www.svrsig.org.uk/svr/Iss209.htm S & T Notes - issue 209]. The procedure for operation of the ground frame was described thus:
:''The new ground frame at Foley Park Sidings will allow access to the new sidings either out of hours or with the boxes open. For a train to leave the sidings, the Shunter will ring [[Kidderminster Station signal box (1987 onwards)|Kidderminster box]] and ask for a ground frame release. The Kidderminster signalman will send an appropriate bell code to [[Bewdley South signal box|Bewdley South]] who will reverse his [[Acceptance Lever]]. This will provide a release for either the section signal (as now) or the key control instrument. The latter will release an Annett's key at the ground frame to unlock it. Once the ground frame is locked up again, either with the train on the main line ready to depart or locked inside the sidings with the single line section clear, and the Shunter has been advised that all is in order, the Kidderminster signalman will send an appropriate bell signal to Bewdley South either cancelling the train (once it is either locked inside or has arrived at Kidderminster) or intimating it is about to leave for Bewdley. An Up or Down train stopping in section at the sidings would be signalled normally but the Shunter would telephone the Kidderminster signalman on arrival once the train was at a stand clear of the siding points for a ground frame release and then proceed as above''.<ref>[http://www.svrsig.org.uk/svr/Iss209.htm SVRSig Website: S & T Notes - issue 209]</ref> How the signal box diagram will look once the ground frame has been installed<ref>[http://www.svrsig.org.uk/svr/Iss210.htm SVRSig Website: S & T Notes - issue 210]</ref>.: [[File:Kidderminster signal box diagram 2020 including Foley Park Ground Frame.jpg]]
