Northwood Halt, Kidderminster Foreign, Worcestershire, DY12 1AS
Date of visit: 16th July 2020
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Northwood Halt is an unstaffed request stop on the Severn Valley Railway in Worcestershire, situated a little to the north of Bewdley on the outskirts of the Wyre Forest at the north end of North Wood. There is an ungated level crossing just to the south of the single platform. It is the only surviving original halt on the line.
The halt first opened in June 1935 and was in use until the end of British Railways passenger services north of Bewdley in 1963. Although thought by some people to have been closed as part of the Beeching axe in 1963 its planned closure pre-dated his report. It was well used by fishermen, ramblers and tourists, and was reopened immediately after the SVR’s southerly extension of services in 1974. Northwood Halt is not included in the public timetable.
