The Carriage Repair Works is split across two sites. The most conspicuous is the former GWR goods shed at [[Kidderminster]], aka North Star Works. The SVR acquired this shed in 1985, the year after Kidderminster opened, when it was put up for sale by the former occupants Pickfords Removals. It is the large building beyond the platform in the photograph.
Much work also takes place at [[Bewdley]] which generally carries out the heavier bodywork repair work. The lighter bodywork repairs and bogie overhauls take place at Kidderminster. Carriage restoration from derelict condition by groups including the [[Great Western (SVR) Assoc.|GW(SVR)A]] and [[Severn Valley Railway Charitable Trust Ltd|the Charitable Trust]] also takes place at Bewdley. Both Repair Works are closed to the public, except during the [[Members & Shareholders Weekend]] and [[The 4150 Fund#Peep Behind the Scenes | Peep Behind the Scenes]].
Rail access to the Kidderminster Carriage Repair Works is via the [[Connection to Network Rail]].
