Proposed uses of the triangle in the past
The "Stourport Triangle" (also known as the "Bewdley Triangle") is the name given to the small area of land between the Kidderminster and Stourport lines as they diverge to the southeast of Bewdley. The ground in the area of the triangle was excavated to rail level in 1986 to provide filling for the Bewdley Bypass<ref>[[Bibliography | Marshall (1989), p93]]</ref>.
From time to time proposals have been made to make use of this site. In 1973 a report was put forward suggesting siting a loco running shed there<ref>SVR News 29</ref>. The remains triangle was also planned to be the location of the SVR’s [[Stourport Branch Kidderminster Turntable | turntable]], acquired in 1980 but later installed at Kidderminster. Currently the remains of the Stourport line]], the sidings which have been added since its closure and the ground around them are now used for the storage of goods wagons and Permanent Way materials.
