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or rakes, although it is not uncommon to see more than one livery in a train as individual carriages are temporarily withdrawn for repair or maintenance and others are substituted or added to increase passenger capacity.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]].

Latest revision as of 10:57, 25 December 2023

 The SVR has around 70 passenger carriages,[1] 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or rakes, although it is not uncommon to see more than one livery in a train as individual carriages are temporarily withdrawn for repair or maintenance and others are substituted or added to increase passenger capacity.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[2].
  • 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.

The carriage sets

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.

The below relates to normal services. All sets are listed in order starting with the carriage nearest Kidderminster.

Set C

British Railways Crimson & Cream (at 4 July 2023)

Set L

LMS Crimson Lake (at 18 August 2022; not in regular use in 2023)

Set M

British Railways Maroon (at 7 July 2023)

Set N

LNER Teak (at 7 July 2023)

GNR 2701 Composite Corridor is usually part of this set.

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[5] - 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

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

Great Western Chocolate & Cream, later 1938 to 1947 liveries (at 18 August 2022; not in regular use in 2023)

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.[6]

Set S

Great Western Chocolate & Cream, not in regular use in 2023

LMS 7511 Restaurant First Open may run instead of 9653. Other carriages available include BR 80776 wheelchair dining car.

Set VV

Not in regular use in 2023

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

(at 4 July 2023)

Not in regular use in 2023 - GWR 3930 Full Third

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

Welcome to the Severn Valley Railway Wiki

From this week's featured article
Eardington is situated on Eardington Bank, mid-way between Bridgnorth and Hampton Loade. In recent years, rebuilding the platform was completed in 2019 and the water tower was dismantled in 2021. Although the station no longer features in daily operations, it resumed use during gala events in 2023 more than 40 years since regular timetabled trains ceased. (Full article...)

For 101 years between 1862 and 1963, the Severn Valley Railway formed part of the national railway network, running for 40 miles between Hartlebury and Shrewsbury. Established as a separate company, it was mainly operated by the Great Western Railway (GWRGreat Western Railway) and later by British Railways (BRBritish Rail or British Railways).

The present day Severn Valley Railway (SVRSevern Valley Railway) was established in 1965 to preserve part of the line as a heritage railway. Today it has six stations and two halts and runs for 16 miles along the Severn Valley between Bridgnorth in Shropshire and Kidderminster in Worcestershire, following the course of the River Severn for much of its route. Operations involve a mixture of steam and heritage diesel-hauled services.

This unofficial website is a project aimed to collect information and record events relating to the SVRSevern Valley Railway, both past and present.

For timetables, fare information, and news about special events, please visit the SVR Official Website. Other news and information of interest to members, shareholders and enthusiasts can be found on SVRLive.

In April 2023 the SVRSevern Valley Railway announced the launch of a Survival Fund to enable it to overcome the current financial crisis and implement longer-term plans for its future. Information and details of how to donate may be found on the SVRSevern Valley Railway's Survival Fund page.
