There were five weekday departures from Shrewsbury as in 1910, although for the first time the majority of these were to Kidderminster rather than Hartlebury. Four of the five return services originated at Hartlebury, but with the last departure now being relatively early at 5.30pm (a later departure now only ran as far as Bridgnorth rather than continuing to Shrewsbury). Times between Hartlebury and Shrewsbury still averaged around 2 hours, little changed from the previous century. Although locomotive performance had improved, there were often planned delays at Bewdley to provide connections with services between Kidderminster and the Tenbury Branch; for example the 5:30pm from Hartlebury included a 21 minute wait at Bewdley. A separate timetable was again provided for the 'local' service around the Kidderminster / Bewdley / Hartlebury triangle. The Sunday timetable did not show any services north of Bewdley.
 
On the Tenbury Branch, five services ran each way between Kidderminster and Woofferton.
 
==1930s==
:''Main article: [[Timetable: Kidderminster to Woofferton 1936]]''
In the early 1930s, the Sunday timetable included one Bridgnorth to Shrewsbury service and one service nicknamed the “Fisherman’s Special”. The latter left Birmingham Snow Hill at 7.22am, arriving at Shrewsbury via Kidderminster at 10.30am, with the return departing at 8.00pm, arriving at Snow Hill at 10.47pm.
 
During the 1930s the SWR opened a number of halts on the Severn Valley Branch in a bid to attract more local custom on the line. These were at [[Burlish Halt|Burlish]] (1930), [[Northwood Halt|Northwood]] (1935), [[Jackfield Halt|Jackfield]] and [[Cound Halt|Cound]] (1934).
 
The [[Timetable: Kidderminster to Woofferton 1936|1936 timetable for the Tenbury Branch]] included 5 passenger services in each direction between Woofferton and Kidderminster. By 1938 there were still five trains per day to and from Shrewsbury.
