The five sets in regular timetabled use are;
*Set C, British Railways Mk1's in Crimson & Cream<ref>[httphttps://www.bloodandcustard.com/bloodandcustardhistory.html org www.bloodandcustard.comorg] states that Crimson and Cream rather than Carmine and Cream was the description used by BR</ref>.

*Set GW2(sometimes abbreviated to GW), GWR later period (post-grouping1938 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. For a period to 2016 this was pre-book only, not shown on the timetable. From 2017 it is reduced to four coaches in order to allow the railway to operate smaller locomotives, and on a Sunday has two additional vehicles added to allow three coaches for standard passenger accommodation.<ref>Noticeboard Issue February 2017</ref>
*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 GW2GW. Very occasional use for charters, galas, and filming.
*Observation saloons [[GWR_80969_Inspection_Saloon|80969]] and [[GWR 80972 Inspection Saloon|80972]], two carriages which can be privately chartered and attached to a regular train.
*Autotrailers [[GWR 178 Autotrailer Third|178]] and [[GWR 238 Autotrailer Third|238]], two carriages suitable for push-pull trains.
Several other carriages are in use as volunteer accommodation or as storage.

For the Pacific Power event in September 2016, a 9 coach teak set was utilised with [[LNER 7960 Kitchen Composite|7960]], the first time such a set has been put together since the 2 May 1964<ref>[https://forum.svr-online.org.uk/viewtopic.php?p=51701#51701 SVRA Forum]</ref> - 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.

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