[[SVR staff in 1922#Severn Valley Railway (South of Bewdley)|GWR staff records for 1922]] show the station had a staff of 28.
In 1927 the GWR Engineering Department reported that "improvements are being made" at Stourport.<ref>Great Western Railway Magazine, January 1927</ref>
The Civil Parish of Stourport was renamed "'''Stourport-on-Severn'''" in 1934 (see 'The town of Stourport' below). Stourport station was similarly renamed in the same year.<ref>[[Bibliography#Books | Marshall (1989)]] p. 89.</ref><ref group="note">Marshall suggested the station might have been renamed to avoid confusion with nearby Stourbridge as there was no other Stourport station. The change of name of the Civil Parish was more likely the reason.</ref>
