Links to sources of information

(Links will open in a new window)

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.

SVR Live is also an official SVRSevern Valley Railway web site, for members, shareholders and enthusiasts. A secure section of this site is used by Working Members for internal communication. Information which is publically accessible for enthusiasts includes Traffic Notices, Working Timetables, lineside photography policy and application forms, and so on. SVRSevern Valley Railway Live also contains regular monthly news announcements, although these are of a more specialist nature concerning matters like locomotive overhauls and infrastructure upgrades. The Working Members’ monthly newsletter ‘Express Points’ is also publically accessible.

SVR-Online Forum is an unofficial discussion forum, run on a voluntary basis in conjunction with the Severn Valley Railway Association (SVRASevern Valley Railway Association). Day to day ‘chat’ takes place on SVRSevern Valley Railway-related topics such as Special Events, Motive Power, Rolling Stock and so on. Access is freely available, although it is necessary to register before being able to post.
