List of stations

This page refers to stations and halts within the area occupied by the present day SVR. For a list of all the stations and halts on the original Severn Valley Line, see the Pre-1963 map.

The majority of the stations on the present day SVR survive from GWR days and retain most of their original appearance. The exception is the SVR station at Kidderminster which opened in 1984 and was newly built on the site of the former south goods yard of the existing Kidderminster mainline station. The SVR station is officially named Kidderminster Town (in line with GWR custom of including “Town” in the name of the closer of two stations to a town, the SVR station being around 50 yards closer to Kidderminster’s town centre than the main line station). However in everyday use on the SVR, ‘Kidderminster’ would be taken to mean the SVR’s station, and the same is true on this Wiki site unless otherwise stated.

Of the two active Halts, Northwood Halt features a replacement shelter, while Country Park Halt (which serves Alveley Country park) is entirely new, although located close to the original Alveley Halt.
