*On 6 January 1891 the driver of a goods train approaching Kidderminster from Bewdley mistook the signal for the main line as being for the one for the Loop Line and collided with a passenger train approaching Kidderminster from Hartlebury.<ref>[https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0000033/18910108/014/0005 Birmingham Daily Post Thursday 8 January 1891 on the British Newspaper Archive]</ref>
*On 29 November 1898 a passenger train from Hartlebury was derailed at Arley after running through down home signal at danger just as the signalman was changing the points for the loop. The circumstances of the accident suggest that locking bars had not been installed at the time to prevent points being changed under a train.<ref name="Marshall" />
