The bottom yard at Kidderminster (the area now mainly occupied by Kidderminster Carriage Shed) was enlarged in 1943, at the height of the Second World War. Two sidings for Wagon Repairs Limited were added as well as three new marshalling yard sidings.[1]

Wagon Repairs Limited was established in 1918. Its shareholders included a number of the large carriage and wagon building companies such as the Gloucester Railway Carriage and Wagon Company and the Birmingham Railway Carriage & Wagon Company. It had a number of depots around the country and would have been carrying out essential work during wartime[2].
