The Carriage Repair Works is split across two sites. The most conspicuous is the former GWR goods shed at [[Kidderminster]], aka North Star Works, the large building which can be seen beyond the platform in the photograph. The SVR acquired this shed in 1985, the year after Kidderminster opened, when it was put up for sale by the former occupants Pickfords Removals. It The North Star Works includes a carriage paint shop as well as facilities for jacking up carriages for bogie overhauls. Lighter bodywork repairs also take place. Rail access to the Kidderminster Carriage Repair Works is via the large building beyond the platform in the photograph[[Connection to Network Rail]].

Much work also takes place at [[Bewdley Carriage & Wagon Department | Bewdley]] which generally carries out the heavier bodywork repair work. The lighter bodywork repairs and bogie overhauls take place at Kidderminster Bewdley also has a carriage paint shop.
