In more recent years testing is restricted to the section between [[Bewdley]] and [[Kidderminster]]. The railway's policy during high speed testing periods mandates there is no lineside access and restrictions are published in the Traffic Notices, on SVRLive and the SVROnline intranet. Examples of high speed testing include the following (incomplete list):
===November *2012: Metropolitan No. 1 ===Newly overhauled Metropolitan Railway E Class 0-4-4T No. 1 underwent running in trials between 28 and 30 November 2012 in preparation for the 150th Anniversary of the Metropolitan Railway in 2013.
