Severn Valley Railway

The Severn Valley Railway runs regular steam-hauled passenger trains between Kidderminster in Worcestershire and Bridgnorth in Shropshire, a distance of 16 miles. The route follows closely the meandering course of the River Severn for most of the way. There being few roads in the valley, some of the views are only visible from the Railway; the scenery is varied and largely unspoilt, punctuated by charming country stations.

In just over three decades, the Severn Valley Railway has graduated from relative obscurity to great prominence in British railway preservation. Nowadays, the initials SVR are not solely part of the specialist jargon of keen railway enthusiasts - although the line is still happily invaded during the popular Enthusiast Weekends. Increasingly, the general public has visited the line, thanks partly to extensive TV coverage which has ensured that very few weeks pass without Severn Valley steam trains appearing on TV screens across the nation.

Services run every weekend of the year and daily at peak times (see the timetable for details, (link below photos).

One of the Stations on the route is Highley

A little further along the line is Hampton Loade
