[[File:Platform 2 at Kidderminster Town - geograph.org.uk - 247100.jpg |thumb|300px|right | Kidderminster Carriage Repair Works (Wikimedia Commons)]]
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 large building which can be seen beyond the platform in the photograph. The SVR acquired this shed in 19851986, the year <ref>SVR News 81</ref> two years after [[The development of Kidderminster Town Station|Kidderminster opened]], when it was put up for sale by the former occupants Pickfords Removals. The North Star Works includes a carriage paint shop as well as facilities for jacking up carriages for bogie overhauls. Lighter bodywork repairs also take place. Rail access to the Kidderminster Carriage Repair Works is via the [[Connection to Network Rail]].
Much work also takes place at [[Bewdley Carriage & Wagon Department | Bewdley]] which generally carries out the heavier bodywork repair work. Bewdley also has a carriage paint shop. 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 here.
