Kidderminster is the carpet town on the River Stour, where the main line station stands next to the Severn Valley Railway heritage line and the Museum of Carpet sits in the town centre. We take pre-booked journeys across Kidderminster and towards Bewdley, Stourport-on-Severn and Worcester.
Kidderminster journeys are pre-booked with a licensed operator, never picked up off the street. Drivers hold Enhanced DBS checks, and the accessible vehicle covers the town and the Wyre Forest villages, with no extra charge for a wheelchair user or an assistance dog.
Yes, at both ends of the station's life. Kidderminster's main line station serves trains to Worcester, Birmingham and London, and right beside it the Severn Valley Railway runs its heritage steam services to Bewdley and Bridgnorth. Booked pick-ups meet either timetable; tell us which train, main line or steam, and the car will be there for it.
Steam gala days and the railway's special events fill the station approach, and the car parks fill with it. A pre-booked car with an agreed meeting point is the difference between a day out and a long wait, particularly for the last trains of an event evening.
Bewdley across the Severn, Stourport-on-Severn down the river, Hartlebury, Blakedown with its own small station, and the villages out towards the Wyre Forest are all regular pick-ups. In town, the Museum of Carpet tells the story the town was built on, and Kidderminster Hospital and Treatment Centre generates steady appointment travel.
The town's geography is valleys: the Stour runs through it and the roads climb out in every direction, towards Worcester on the A449, Birmingham on the A456 and Bridgnorth on the A442. Journeys are planned with those roads in mind, and the pick-up time we agree allows for them.
Kidderminster is the northern end of our patch. Down the A449, the page for the county city's taxi and private hire covers Worcester itself, and across the fields the neighbouring patch is described on the page for Bromsgrove taxi and private hire. For the regular school pattern, the countywide page on school and SEN transport explains how runs are set up.
