Kidderminster railway station
Kidderminster railway station serves the town of Kidderminster in Worcestershire. Most trains using the station are operated by Central Trains, and these run roughly north-east to Leamington Spa via Stourbridge Junction and Birmingham Snow Hill, and south to Worcester. The service between Kidderminster and Birmingham is heavily used, with typically three trains per hour; the more outlying sections have a lesser service. Chiltern Railways' services from London to Birmingham are also extended to and from Kidderminster at peak times.
Kidderminster station opened with the extension of the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway from Worcester to Stourbridge in 1852 by the GWR. The station building, of a mock Tudor design, survived until 1968 when it was demolished owing to the effects of dry rot and replaced by British Rail with the small brick building that stands today.
The Severn Valley Railway's southern terminus shares the same station approach road and is known as Kidderminster Town to distinguish it from the National Rail station.
There is a car park for 400 cars, administered by Central Trains, in part of the old goods yard between the two railway stations. The Severn Valley Railway has its own car park on the town centre side of their station.
