Foley Park Sidings
It is likely that access to Foley Park sidings was achieved by a ground frame, or possibly two ground frames located at opposite ends of the sidings, unlocked by the token. An intermediate token machine was provided for the Kidderminster Junction - Bewdley South section.
SVRSevern Valley Railway/BRBritish Rail or British Railways Boundary
After the closure of the Bewdley-Kidderminster line, two two-lever ground frames were installed at an unknown date on the single line adjacent to the sidings, used to control access between BRBritish Rail or British Railways and the SVRSevern Valley Railway. It appears they each controlled a single trap point and associated FPLFacing Point Lock, equipment that physically locks points so that they cannot move., with an SVRSevern Valley Railway GF controlling traps in one direction, and a BRBritish Rail or British Railways GF controlling traps in the other. The ground frames can be seen in this photograph: Link.
