A description of some of the repair work undertaken by the SVR's Signal & Telecommunications Department is contained in this article from SVR News reproduced on their informal web site. ( [http://www.svrsig.org.uk/svr/Iss161.htm Link] )
The SVR's success in recovering from the storm damage was marked by a number of [[Awards|awards]], including the Transport Trust's 'Preservationist of the Year', the Ian Allen Publishing 'Heritage Railway of the Year' and the Heart of England Tourist Board 'Best Tourism Experience of the Year'.
A Royal visit to the SVR took place in [[Severn Valley Railway Timeline 2000-2009#2008| June 2008]]. SVR News stated "''The popular misconception was that the reason for the visit was especially for Their Royal Highnesses The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall to view the most major repairs to the storm damage on our line. This was not the only reason; His Royal Highness had requested a visit to a heritage tourist line with the Royal Train, steam-hauled. And that is what happened.''"<ref>SVR News 158</ref> ==Tenth Anniversary exhibition==An exhibition entitled "'''2007 Storm Damage – 10 Years on'''" opened in [[The Engine House]] in June 2017.
