Although the names 'Diesel Depot' and 'Traction Maintenance Depot' are synonymous and refer to the entire site, the term 'Diesel Depot' is frequently used to refer specifically to the large workshop building opened in 2016.
In July 2018 the depot was given a [[TOPS_codes#TOPS_location_codes | TOPS location code]] - 65942, KI. On Network Rail's open data TRUST timetabling system the TMD is 'Kidderminster Tmd (Svr)', although trains may only be timetabled to 'Kidderminster S.V.R.'.

==Diesel locomotives visiting the SVR for contract overhauls==
''[[Steam and diesel locomotives visiting the SVR for contract overhauls|See main article]]''
The TMD earns revenue for the SVR by offering the use of its facilities for overhauls, repairs and repainting of visiting mainline and preserved locomotives either as part of arrangements for visiting traction at galas and special events, or separately.
