The Halt reopened with the SVR extension to Bewdley in 1974. In 2006 the halt's wooden shelter was replaced with a 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 halt with its new pagoda won the G.N.E.R. Volunteers Award in the 2007 National Railway Heritage Awards.
