Rifle Range Halt
(1905 - 1920)
Rifle Range Halt was a short-lived
un-staffed request stop on the GWR Kidderminster to Bewdley loop
line which now forms part of the Severn Valley Railway. It was
located west of Bewdley tunnel
Rifle Range Halt opened in June 1905 and was mainly served by a
steam railmotor service which was introduced on the
Kidderminster - Bewdley - Stourport section of the railway in
the same year. The nearby rifle range was used mainly during the
First World War by volunteers from the Yeomanry
The railmotors operated until 1918, and the halt was closed on
October 4 1920 and no remains are now visible
