:The winter saw a major infrastructure project, initiated by Severn Trent Water, which involved replacing three of the four large diameter water pipes bringing water from the Elan Valley to Birmingham where they cross under the trackbed between Bewdley and Arley. The replacement work was carried out by STW's contractors, but SVR staff and volunteers removed and replaced the trackbed and signalling equipment to enable the work to be carried out. The project over-ran, meaning the first 3 days of re-opening for half term week could not run between Bewdley and Highley.
:Other winter infrastructure work included replacement of the points and installation of improved drainange drainage at the south end of Arley station. Restoration work was also carried out on Bewdley South (Sandbourne) and Bewdley North (Wribbenhall) viaducts.
:On 2 February the contractors arrived on site at Kidderminster to begin construction of the new Diesel Depot.
