Facilities
There is a car park for 400 cars, administered by London Midland, 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.
The station has a booking office, a kiosk, a BT Phone Box, a cash point and a ticket machine.
In 2009 a recently opened bridge (with lifts) has transformed access between the platforms. Before this work, it was via the road overbridge, visible in the background of the lower image right.
The signal box (a short distance to the south of the station) is still known as Kidderminster Junction. This controlled the junction to the Severn Valley Line until its closure in the 1970s. Its junction status has since been restored as it now controls the trailing connection between the down Network Rail line and the heritage Severn Valley Railway.

Famous quotes containing the word facilities:
“I have always found that when men have exhausted their own resources, they fall back on “the intentions of the Creator.” But their platitudes have ceased to have any influence with those women who believe they have the same facilities for communication with the Divine mind as men have.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.”
