Bewdley station has three platforms and was formerly the junction for both the Wyre Forest and Stourport lines, both of which are now used as sidings. The next station in the Up direction is Kidderminster, and the next stations in the Down direction towards Bridgnorth are Northwood Halt and Arley.

The station is controlled by two signal boxes, Bewdley South and Bewdley North. The section through platforms 1 and 2 is the only double track section of the present SVR. This is worked under Absolute Block regulations.

The yard at Bewdley is home to the Carriage and Wagon department which supplements the Carriage Repair Department at Kidderminster and maintains the fleet of goods wagons. The 4150 Fund are also restoring GWR locomotive 4150 in Bewdley yard. Public access to the yard is available during the annual Members and Shareholders 'Behind the Scenes' event, organised by the 4150 Fund.

Bewdley MPD is home to the Class 108 DMU. Other operational locomotives are also stabled at Bewdley, running light engine to Kidderminster at the start and end of each day as required.

Bewdley Platform 1 is home to the Volunteer Liaison Office. There is also a buffet adjacent to this platform.

Bewdley has limited public pay and display parking. Three sales coaches run by support groups are adjacent to the car park.
