Shrewsbury has a staff of 187 in 1922, reflecting its status as a major railway interchange.

The numbers for larger stations such as Shrewsbury and Kidderminster appear to include (where applicable) those working in the goods yard, but not those working in the associated goods depot. They also include S&TSignals & Telegraph staff such as signalmen, but exclude permanent way department staff and those allocated to local motive power depots such as footplate men and fitters etc.
