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]] (GWR) and later by British Railways (BR). The present day [[Severn Valley Railway]] (SVR) is an ex-GWR standard gauge was established in 1965 to preserve part of the line as a heritage railway in Shropshire and Worcestershire, England. The line Today it has [[list of stations | 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. Train services are hauled predominantly by Operations involve a mixture of steam locomotives, regularly supplemented by a diesel multiple unit and heritage diesel locomotive -hauled trainsservices. This unofficial website is a project aimed to collect information and record events relating to the SVR, both past and present.

=== Query Corner ===
Unsurprisingly, there are a large number of questions about the SVR, both in pre-preservation days and for a number of historical items since then. Take a visit down to [[Query Corner]] to see if you have a recollection relating to some long forgotten event, or know of a reliable source (maybe an early edition of the [[Severn Valley Railway News | SVR News]]?) that might have the information we need!
In addition are a number of [[:Category:Stub articles|stub articles]] requiring further input.
