__TOC__
The SVR has over 80 carriages, dating from pre-grouping to BR Mk1s of the early 1960s, with well over half of them in operational use. The carriages are normally operated in six matching sets, or rakes, although it is not uncommon to see more than one livery in a train as individual carriages are temporarily withdrawn for repair or maintenance and others are substituted or added to increase passenger capacity. Carriage sets usually consist of six to eight vehicles, although lengths up to ten carriages are not unusual. Carriage repairs and restorations are carried out at the [[Carriage Repair Works]].

Revision as of 22:19, 5 July 2020

The SVR has over 80 carriages, dating from pre-grouping to BR Mk1's of the early 1960s, with well over half of them in operational use. The carriages are normally operated in six matching sets, or rakes, although it is not uncommon to see more than one livery in a train as individual carriages are temporarily withdrawn for repair or maintenance and others are substituted or added to increase passenger capacity. Carriage sets usually consist of six to eight vehicles, although lengths up to ten carriages are not unusual. Carriage repairs and restorations are carried out at the Carriage Repair Works.

The five sets in regular timetabled use are;

  • Set C, British Railways Mk1's in Crimson & Cream[1].
  • Set M, British Railways Mk1's in Maroon.
  • Set L, LMS (and BR built to LMS design) in LMS Crimson Lake.
  • Set N, LNER & GNR Teak
  • Set GW2 (sometimes abbreviated to GW), GWR later period (1938 to 1947) in GWR Chocolate & Cream. The SVR is in the process of creating a second GWR set (GW1) which will consist of early (1910 to early 1930s) stock in older liveries.


Other sets and carriages in operational use are;

  • Set S, 'The Severn Valley Limited' diner set in GWR Chocolate & Cream.
  • Set VV, 'The Severn Valley Venturer' carriages attached to a service train operating from Bridgnorth. Comprised of BR 1682 Restaurant Buffet and BR 3103 First Open.
  • Set T, the 'Toplights', comprising GWR pre-grouping coaches plus spare serviceable GWR vehicles not required in GW. Very occasional use for charters, galas, and filming.
  • Observation saloons 80969 and 80972, two carriages which can be privately chartered and attached to a regular train.
  • Autotrailers 178 and 238, two carriages suitable for push-pull trains.

Several other carriages are in use as volunteer accommodation or as storage.

This page includes Non Passenger Carrying Coaching Stock (NPCCS) such as Full Brakes and carriages adapted for use as Post Office Sorting Vans (also known as Travelling Post Offices or TPOs) and General Utility Vans (GUVs). Other goods vans and brake vans are listed under Goods Wagons.

The carriage sets[edit | edit source]

The individual carriages used to make up any set can vary from day to day depending on availability and operational requirements. It is usual to see the brake, buffet and disabled access carriage located in the centre of each set. There is a spare brake vehicle available for each of the main sets.

Services resuming from 1 August 2020 following the 2020 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic will be formed of three rakes of mostly compartment stock, to enable better social distancing. The below relates to normal services.

All sets are listed in order starting with the carriage nearest Kidderminster.

Set C[edit | edit source]

British Railways Crimson & Cream (observed 27 October 2019)

Other carriages available include 4545 and 16267.

Spare Brake vehicle 9220 is commonly used on the Footplate Experience.

Set M[edit | edit source]

British Railways Maroon (observed 9 November 2019)

Set L[edit | edit source]

LMS Crimson Lake (observed 9 November 2019)

Spare Brake vehicle is 26986.

Set N[edit | edit source]

LNER Teak (observed 9 November 2019)

Other carriages available include 43612 and 24068.

For the Pacific Power event in September 2016, a 9 coach teak set was utilised with 7960, the first time such a set has been put together since the 2 May 1964[4] - by this point, the coaches had been painted in BR maroon, and it is thought the last time a 9 coach set in varnished teak livery was seen was in the early 1950s.

Set GW1[edit | edit source]

The SVR is in the process of forming a GW1 set made up of 1910 to early 1930s stock in the older liveries.

Set GW2[edit | edit source]

Great Western Chocolate & Cream, later 1938 to 1947 liveries (observed 5 October 2019)

The SVR website pages giving details of carriage sets in use on a day to day may refer to this set as simply "GW". The current conversion project for 9581 will add a GWR wheelchair/dining vehicle to this set.[5]

Set S[edit | edit source]

Great Western Chocolate & Cream

Set VV[edit | edit source]

When the Severn Valley Venturer diner is in use, the two carriages above are added to the first Sunday departure from Bridgnorth, occasionally replacing other carriages in the set when necessary. For example, on 17 May 2015, 3103 and 1682 replaced 26986 in Set L above.
In 2014, LMS 7511 was also used instead of BR 3103.

Set Toplights[edit | edit source]

GWR 4786 Full Third is currently under restoration for use with the Toplight set. Unrestored 2426 is also earmarked for this set.
