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
