GWR Diesel Railcars such as [[Railcar 22]] were introduced in 1936 on passenger services between Kidderminster, Hartlebury and Stourport, and after World War 2 they were occasionally on services travelling the whole length of the line.
After nationalisation, the line at first continued to use predominantly ex-GWR locomotives. However the 1960s saw an increase in ex-LMS and BR Standard locomotives, and the replacement of ex-GWR railcard by BR railcar single and multiple units. These locomotives saw out the remaining years of the line until closure as a through route in 1963, although fittingly the last BR passenger train into Bridgnorth from the south on 8 September 1963 was hauled by ex-GWR pannier tanks numbers 9264 9624 and 4665.
