==The carriage sets==
The individual carriages used to make up any set can vary from day to day depending on availability and operational requirements. It is usual to see the brake, buffet and [[:Category: Wheelchair-accessible adapted carriages|disabled access carriage]] located in the centre of each set. There is a spare brake vehicle available for each of the main sets.
 
During 2020 and 2021 and the [[2020 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic|COVID-19 pandemic]], to enable better social distancing coaches were marshalled to provide compartment sets for groups of four to six people, an open carriage with tables for socially distanced single travellers and groups of up to four people, and a staff vehicle. No catering was provided.
The below relates to normal services. All sets are listed in order starting with the carriage nearest Kidderminster.
