===2025 landslip=== On 30 January 2025, a landslip occurred between Hampton Loade and Bridgnorth stations, just north of Sterns. It occurred because the right wing wall of a small bridge which carried the railway over Mor Brook failed catastrophically, allowing the embankment upon which the railway sits to slide into the brook. This made the section of line unusable, and therefore cut Bridgnorth off from the rest of the line, causing numerous negative impacts to the railway, such as the full fleet of steam locomotives being stranded at the locomotive works next to the station, and resources such as their coal stockpile becoming inaccessible by rail.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=EXPRESS POINTS March 25 |url=https://www.svrlive.com/epmar25 |access-date=10 April 2025 |website=svrlive |language=en}}</ref> The railway intends to repair the damage. {{As of|2025|April}}, the SVR has been in talks with insurers and contractors and has raised Β£125,000 towards the repairs. Many other heritage railways, individuals and companies have made declarations of support or otherwise helped fundraise for the repair.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Crick |first=karen |date=8 April 2025 |title=SVR to move ahead with landslip repairs |url=https://svr.co.uk/news/svr-to-move-ahead-with-landslip-repairs/ |access-date=10 April 2025 |website=Severn Valley Railway |language=en-GB}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Thousands raised after railway landslip |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwy7g5yrvz5o |access-date=7 February 2025 |website=BBC News |date=4 February 2025 |publisher=BBC}}</ref>
