'''October 1987''':
Having failed to appear at the Steam Gala, 53809 worked services during the Diesel Weekend on 10-11 October.<ref>SVR News 86, cover photo by David Williams</ref>.
'''December 1987''': [[Kidderminster signal box]] was commissioned, together with the loop between [[Kidderminster Footbridge]] and [[Hoo Road Bridge]]. Working over the section to [[Bewdley]] was by [[Acceptance Lever]] rather than by [[ Single line working using tokens | Electric Token]] in part due to the distance from the signal box to the end of the loop. The loop also saw the SVR’s first use of an electric points machine, rather than direct connection to the signal box using rods.
