Northwood Halt is a request stop located between [[Bewdley]] and [[Arley]], immediately adjacent to [[Level crossing at Hill Farm, Northwood Lane | the level crossing at Hill Farm, Northwood Lane]].
The Halt reopened with the SVR extension to Bewdley in 1974. In 2006 the halt's wooden shelter was replaced with an award-winning GWR-style corrugated iron 'pagoda' shelter. This was constructed by the "[[Friends of Kidderminster Town Station]]" using corrugated sheets supplied by Joseph Ash Ltd, a company that had supplied corrugated iron buildings to the GWR a hundred years previously<ref>[http://www.kfriends.org.uk/magazine/northwood%202.htm Friends of Kidderminster Station web site]</ref>, and transported to Northwood by rail. Northwood Halt did not have a 'pagoda' in GWR days, although [[Foley Park Halt]] did.
The platform is on the East side of the railway with a small pagoda shelter and a view across the River Severn to the Wyre Forest. Access to the platform is via a short footpath from the adjacent level crossing. The level crossing is protected by warning lights triggered by approaching trains. There is no car parking nearby.
