The SVRSevern Valley Railway has over 80 carriages, dating from pre-grouping to BRBritish Rail or British Railways 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or rakes, although it is not uncommon to see more than one livery in a train as individual carriages are temporarily withdrawn for repair or maintenance and others are substituted or added to increase passenger capacity.
The four sets in regular timetabled use are;
- Set C, British Rail Mark 1s in Crimson & Cream.
- Set M, British Rail Mark 1s in Maroon.
- Set L, LMSLondon Midland & Scottish Railway (And BRBritish Rail or British Railways built to LMSLondon Midland & Scottish Railway design) in Maroon.
- Set N, LNERLondon & North Eastern Railway & GNRGreat Northern Railway Teak
Other sets and carriages in operational use are;
- Set G, GWRGreat Western Railway, both pre & post grouping, in Chocolate & Cream. Normally only used during busy periods.
- Set S, 'The Severn Valley Limited' diner set in GWRGreat Western Railway Chocolate & Cream. Pre book only, not shown on the timetable.
- Set VV, 'The Severn Valley Venturer' two GWRGreat Western Railway Chocolate & Cream diner carriages attached to a regular train.
- Observation saloons, two carriages which can be privately chartered and attached to a regular train.
Several other carriages are in use as volunteer accommodation or as storage.
