Access to the sidings from Kidderminster was by means of a ground frame. See [[Ground Frames at Foley Park]]. At opening, the factory included siding accommodation for about 118 wagons. Accomodation for about a further 100 wagons was built nearer Kidderminster Station at the junction with the main line.<ref>Great Western Railway Magazine, September 1926</ref> By 1927, there were plans to provide a shunting spur and additional sidings.<ref>Great Western Railway Magazine, June 1927</ref>
During the sugar beet season, which normally ran from mid-September to mid-January, up to four trains per day would arrive at Kidderminster. Shunting from Kidderminster to the Foley Park factory required a shunting engine from [[Kidderminster Shed]] to be available 24 hours per day.<ref>[[Bibliography#Books|Turley (2005)]] p. 72-77.</ref>
