The SVR Main Web Site is primarily aimed at the travelling public. It includes all the latest news relevant to that sector, including details of forthcoming events, timetables, locomotive rosters, ticket sales and so on.

The SVR YouTube channel hosts live webcams and a regular production of wide range of videos from across the SVR.

SVR Live is also an official SVR web site, for members, shareholders and enthusiasts. Information which is publicly accessible for enthusiasts includes Traffic Notices, Working Timetables and so on. Certain pages from time to time are secured for password-protected use by Working Members for internal communication on AGMs and the like. Until 2018 it also carried news announcements concerning matters like locomotive overhauls and infrastructure upgrades, plus regular updates from various sources, including social media and SVR-related websites.

'Express Points' is the Working Members’ monthly newsletter which moved to an online only delivery in January 2017. It is distributed by email to those who have registered, and it also publicly accessible on SVR Live, which includes an archive of past editions.

'Branch Lines' is a monthly newsletter for SVR Members, Shareholders and supporters. It is published on SVR Live, which includes an archive since April 2017.

SVR Online’ and 'Microsoft Teams' and its associated 'SVR TODAY' channel are secure password-protected intranet sites used by the SVR for internal communication with staff and Working Members.

The SVR has active official Social Media accounts on Facebook, Twitter, TikTok and Instagram.
