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>. In 1979 plans were drawn up for a three road carriage shed<ref>SVR News 50</ref>. The triangle was also planned to be the location of the SVR’s [[Kidderminster Turntable | turntable]], acquired in 1980 but later installed at Kidderminster. Currently the remains of the [[Stourport lineBranch]], the sidings which have been added since its closure and the ground around them are used for the storage of goods wagons and Permanent Way materials.
