additional info and history
In '''1904''' a sixth through service was introduced on the Severn Valley Branch on weekdays. By this time the majority of services only ran to and from Hartlebury, with just two southbound ending and one northbound beginning at Worcester. On 29 December 1904 a [[GWR Steam Railmotor]] was trialled between Kidderminster, Bewdley and Stourport, with a full service using two railmotors beginning on 2 January 1905. [[Foley Park Halt]] opened on the same day, and [[Rifle Range Halt]] opened in June of that year<ref name=Marshall142/>

The 1910 timetable included a separate table for the Steam Railmotor service between Kidderminster, Bewdley and Stourport, described as "Motor Cars – One class only". These provided a regular weekday service starting before 8am and finishing after 9pm. One railmotor service also ran from Worcester as far as Bridgnorth.
 
On the Severn Valley Branch five services left Shrewsbury on weekdays as before, although starting and ending later in the day with the first departure now not until 8:30am. Two of the five were to Kidderminster. However there was a peculiar imbalance in the timetable, in that six full line services now arrived at Shrewsbury, the last of the day being from Kidderminster. On Sundays there was now no service to or from Shrewsbury, with the morning departure from Worcester terminating at Bridgnorth and returning in the evening. An afternoon railmotor departure from Worcester ran to Highley before returning immediately to Kidderminster.
 
The Tenbury Branch weekday timetable included six departures from Kidderminster to Woofferton. A similar apparent imbalance in the timetable resulted in seven arrivals at Kidderminster, five from Woofferton and two from Tenbury.
