Although British Rail passenger services continued to 18701970, the SVR had a presence in the yeard since at least 1968. The yard consists of two through sidings which are accessible from both ends of the station, as well as a number of miscellaneous sidings. No. 1 siding runs parallel to the Down Main and is mainly used to store the [[Demonstration Goods Train]], as well as occasionally by locomotives assigned to [[Bewdley MPD]] or other rolling stock. No. 2 siding is adjacent to No. 1 and passes through the [[Bewdley Goods Shed|Goods Shed]], where wagon restoration is carried out by the [[Wagon Department]]. The northern part of No. 2 siding and its headshunt provide access to a dock platform, formerly used for loading goods wagons, now home to three [[List of shops|sales coaches]] and GWR wartime ambulance car [[GWR 5804 Brake Third|5804]] which serves as the [[SVR Apprentices]] group mess coach.
The remainder of the yard is made up of several interconnected dead end sidings. These sidings include the Paint Shop, used to paint passenger and goods rolling stock. The yard is also home to a number of coaches that reside there permanently: GWR sleeper coach [[GWR 2233 Corridor Brake Third|2233]] and Mark 3 sleepers [[Mk 3a Convertible Sleeper|10569 and 10696]] are used for staff accommodation at Bewdley, and [[GWR 98 Full Brake]] which is used as a workshop and stores for spare parts.
