Back in October, a spokesperson for the rail firm said it invested £70million to upgrade its depot in East Birmingham, which holds the Class 172 fleet which regularly travels to and from Kidderminster.
The spokesperson added these upgrades would reduce the time needed to maintain the train fleets based at the depot, which will help to lessen the impact of disruption and improve the reliability of the service at Kidderminster station.
