The Shuttle

The Shuttle, which was previously called the Kidderminster Shuttle, is a complimentary weekly publication delivered to homes in the Wyre Forest region of Worcestershire, England, every Thursday. In Stourport, it was previously referred to as the Stourport News, and there was also a paid version known as the Kidderminster Times. Since 2005, all three publications have shared the same editorial content, although they each featured different front pages until April 2006. After that date, they were all consolidated under the name The Shuttle, which now includes the Kidderminster Shuttle, Kidderminster Times, and Stourport News. During this transition, the local office in Stourport was also closed.
