The majority of the stations on the SVRSevern Valley Railway survive from GWRGreat Western Railway days and retain most of their original appearance.
The principal exception is the SVRSevern Valley Railway station at Kidderminster which was newly built in 1984 on the site of the former goods yard of the existing Kidderminster station. Featuring a newly-built station building in the turn-of-the-century style of a former GWRGreat Western Railway station at Ross-on-Wye, the SVRSevern Valley Railway station is officially named Kidderminster Town (in line with GWRGreat Western Railway custom of including “Town” in the name of the closer of two stations to a town, the SVRSevern Valley Railway station being around 50 yards closer to Kidderminster’s town centre than the mainline station). However in everyday use on the SVRSevern Valley Railway, ‘Kidderminster’ would be taken to mean the SVRSevern Valley Railway’s station, and the same is true on this Wiki site unless otherwise stated.
Other exceptions are Northwood Halt, which features a replacement shelter, and Country Park Halt, which serves Alveley Country park and is entirely new, although it is located close to the original Alveley Halt.
