Severn Valley Railway
The SVR is a full-size standard-gauge railway line running regular steam-hauled passenger trains for the benefit of visitors and enthusiasts alike between Kidderminster in Worcestershire and Bridgnorth in Shropshire, a distance of 16 miles.
The journey is full of interest, for the route follows closely the meandering course of the River Severn for most of the way on its journey between Kidderminster and Bridgnorth. One highlight of the trip is the crossing of the River Severn by means of the Victoria Bridge - a massive 200-foot single span, high above the water which, incidentally, features in the film 'The Thirty-nine Steps' with Robert Powell in the leading role.
Vintage Trains is one of the U.K.'s leading operators of main line steam train excursions. Based in the Midlands, we offer an attractive and varied choice of destinations. During the summer we operate a popular Sundays only steam train service between Birmingham and Stratford-upon-Avon - The Shakespeare Express.
