Welcome to the Severn Valley Railway Wiki

From this week's featured article
Caledonian Railway Goods Van 2080 was one of the first four wagons to arrive on the SVRSevern Valley Railway post-preservation. It subsequently carried both CR and LMSLondon Midland & Scottish Railway livery, the latter as seen in 1980 TV drama God's Wonderful Railway (pictured). After some years stored out of use, it left the SVRSevern Valley Railway for a new home in 2016. (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.
