:Following ballasting and laying of sleepers and rails during the year, Platform 2 at Kidderminster was brought into use. This allowed two trains to be in Kidderminster Station at the same time. Previously, commissioning of the [[Kidderminster signal box]] in late 1987 had removed the ‘One Engine in Steam’ restriction on the Kidderminster to [[Bewdley South signal box|Bewdley]] section, but services had to cross in the passing loop outside the station.
:1990 saw new records for the number of passengers on the [[Christmas services|Santa Services Special services]] (42,602) and ticket sales in the year (209,837). Turnover exceeded £2m for the first time.
