Slack trains would also arrive from the LMS area via Great Bridge to Hartlebury from where they would reverse to Stourport, returning empty. The trains consisted of around 36 wagons with LMS brake vans at each end. These were normally worked by a [[Locomotives used on the Severn Valley Branch in commercial service#Goods locomotives |GWR 56xx 0-6-2T]], generally no. 6665 or 6684 from Stourbridge. In 1956 Kidderminster was allocated its own 56xx, no. 6679<ref name=Turley/>.
A brief glimpse of a diesel hauled coal train can be seen in the background at the end of this Media Archive for Central England film on the opening of Trimpley Waterworks in 1967. [https://www.macearchive.org/films/midlands-news-05051967-pumping-station-opened-trimpley www.macearchive.org]
==Daily goods train==
The [[Timetable: Severn Valley Line 1948 | BR(W) 1948 working timetable]] gives an example of this working, which began with a 9.30am departure from Hartlebury and ended at [[Coton Hill Yard | Shrewsbury Coton Hill yard]] at 6.58pm. The stop at [[Cressage]] has a note in the timetable 'To deal with Cattle traffic and perform S.T. work only', the S.T. referring to the [[Station Truck]] forming part of the train.

==Bricks and tiles==
A number of the brick and tile works in the Ironbridge Gorge had their own private sidings or made use of the extensive [[Jackfield sidings |sidings at Jackfield]]. [[Maw and Co's Siding| Maw and Co]]'s factory opened in 1883 and became the largest tile works in the world, employing almost 400 people and producing 20 million tiles annually. They had their own privately owned railway wagons and for many years made extensive use of the Severn Valley Branch to transport almost the whole of the factory's output. The 1922 working timetable showed that it was served by the Down goods train from Hartlebury (the 'Salop Goods') arriving at 4.13pm and the Up goods from Shrewsbury arriving at 3.45pm. The siding continued in use until 1959.
