Add info on Kidderminster and station distances
The majority of the stations on the SVR survive from GWR days and retain most of their original appearance.<br> The main principal exception is the SVR station at Kidderminster, which was newly built in 1984 on the site of the former goods yard of the existing Kidderminster station. Featuring a newly-built station building in the turn-of-the-century style of a former GWR station at Ross-on-Wye, the SVR station is officially named '''Kidderminster Town''' (in line with GWR custom of including “Town” in the name of the closer of two stations to a town, the SVR station being around 50 yards closer to Kidderminster’s town centre than the mainline station). However in 1984everyday use on the SVR, ‘Kidderminster’ would be taken to mean the SVR’s station, and the same is true on this Wiki site unless otherwise stated. Also  Other exceptions are Northwood Halt, which features a replacement shelter, and Country Park Halt, which serves Alveley Country park and is entirely new, although it is located close to the original Alveley Halt.<br>
