In 1937 the GWR collection and delivery services utilised some 2,200 motor vans and lorries, 3,000 horse-drawn wagons and carts, and 1,600 horses<ref>[[Bibliography#Other References|Atkins & Hyde (2000)]] p22.</ref>.
Where a station is not listed (e.g. Hampton Loade), no collection or delivery service was available, although some smaller stations were covered by services from nearby larger stations (e.g. Linley and Eardington from Bridgnorth)
