This 1877 public timetable shows trains between [[Worcester]] and [[Shrewsbury]] via the Severn Valley Branch and between [[Bewdley]] and [[Wyre_Forest_Line#Woofferton | Woofferton]] via the [[Wyre Forest Line | Tenbury Branch]].
On the '''Severn Valley Branch''', four through trains ran in each direction between Hartlebury and Shrewsbury on weekdays, with times varying between 1h 42m and 2h 22m. The average duration of 2h 2m equated to a speed of 19.6mph. On Sundays a single train ran from Worcester to Shrewsbury in the morning, returning in the late afternoon.
On the '''Tenbury Branch''' there were three trains in each direction between Bewdley and Woofferton on weekdays only.
The timetables include one train per day labelled 'gov', an apparent reference to this being deemed to be a [[Timetables in commercial service#'Parliamentary' trains|'Parliamentary' train]].
1877 was the last year of operation before the [[Kidderminster Loop Line]] opened. The [[Timetable: Severn Valley and Tenbury Branch 1878|1878 timetable]] included two additional weekday services on the Tenbury Branch, with all Tenbury Branch trains continuing to Kidderminster.
