With the exception of the three request halts (Eardington, Country Park and Northwood), all intermediate stations allow trains to pass each other to continue on the single line. However, Highley's passing loop lacks a platform and facing point locks on points to attached sidings, a legal requirement for passenger-carrying line, meaning trains carrying fare-paying passengers may not pass using this loop.<ref>{{cite book |last=Williams |first=David C. |title=SVR Visitor Guide |edition=10th |year=2018 |page=34 |publisher=Severn Valley Railway}}</ref> It is therefore used for works trains, demonstration goods trains and empty stock workings.

Kidderminster Town station is not an original station. It was built by the SVR, based upon the original GWR station at Ross-on-Wye (1892) and opened in 1984 on a site which used to be the Kidderminster goods yard.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |date=14 March 2013 |title=History of the Severn Valley Railway |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130314153156/http://www.svr.co.uk/History.aspx |access-date=11 April 2025 |website=Severn Valley Railway |url=http://www.svr.co.uk/History.aspx |archive-date=14 March 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |last=Smith |first=D.

Major projects include the porte cochère to the front of the station, the ornamental crestings on the two towers and the canopy over the concourse which was completed in 2006, along with the final, east, wing of the station.<ref name=":2" />

Plans for a significant redevelopment of Bridgnorth station were approved by Shropshire Council in August 2016, this includes the addition of a new cafe, car park, locomotive turntable and volunteer accommodation, when funding is available.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.svr.co.uk/NewsItem.aspx?a=742 |title=SVR Website news item |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160823002004/http://www.svr.co.uk/NewsItem.aspx?a=742 |archive-date=23 August 2016 |access-date=22 August 2016}}</ref>

===Former stations===

A list of the former stations on the Severn Valley Railway, most of which were closed with the Severn Valley line in 1963, after 101 years in use, and never preserved by the current heritage railway due to a multitude of factors, including the lifting of track between Hartlebury and Bewdley and between Bridgnorth and Shrewsbury.<ref name=":1" /><ref>{{Cite web |title=Bridgnorth Station: tunnel |url=http://bridgnorthstation.blogspot.com/2008/11/tunnel.html |access-date=10 April 2025 |website=Bridgnorth Station}}</ref>
