Bewdley MPDMotive Power Depot is a small open-air loco servicing facility, located at the South end of the Rock Siding at Bewdley, consisting of an ash pit and some light repair facilities. It is used by steam locomotives on diagrams originating from Kidderminster, as no steam locomotive facilities exist at Kidderminster. Watering facilities are not available on the Rock Siding (although they are on Platforms 2 and 3 at Bewdley), so locomotives will generally take water at Kidderminster. Similarly, coal is usually taken on arrival at Bridgnorth later in the day, with a single loading being sufficient for a normal day's work of two round trips.
