    [Apr 18, 2024] Severn Valley Railway 2024 Spring Steam Gala (Severn Valley Railway)

    It's a shame, really. Had 6880 been announced for what is now on the website - coming to the SVR for running-in and then staying to work trains in...

    A2 60532 Blue Peter

    I've also been wondering this. Given it was previously announced as being there, I'd hope there would be another formal announcement if that...

    [Apr 18, 2024] Severn Valley Railway 2024 Spring Steam Gala (Severn Valley Railway)

    In truth 813 is a greater disappointment than 6880 for me. I like 813 a lot and (for understandable reasons) it's rarely been used on public...

    6880 Betton Grange

    Thank you (and to Matt too) for the info. I was at that one myself, and I do remember a *lot* of praise for 828 in particular. Gorgeous engine.

    6880 Betton Grange

    Slightly different situation I know, but in spring 2012(?) when Bittern came to the SSG, wasn't there some doubt about that being ready until...

    [Apr 18, 2024] Severn Valley Railway 2024 Spring Steam Gala (Severn Valley Railway)

    Re the DMU, in any case it could be seen as a fair swap given that 7714 featured at the last diesel gala!

    No specific mention of 60532's current status there that I can see, unless I've misunderstood that thread or I'm misinterpreting your reply in...

    SVR General Discussion

    I agree, I've never liked the "per direction of travel" aspect (does any other line do it that way?) but it's been around for so long that I tend...

    SVR General Discussion

    Pleasantly surprised to see most fares held; I'd been expecting a small rise. The standardisation of short hop fares does have its winners and...

    SVR General Discussion

    Am I right in thinking that (if it becomes the final calendar) is an increase in total operating days from 2023? Good news if so as it implies the...

    Severn Valley Railway winter steam gala January 2024

    I live in Bewdley, and it's been a pretty bad one here, though the peak was on Friday. Definitely a serious flood in my book. On a happier note,...

    Apologies, I wasn't very clear. I meant that barring disaster, there will certainly be *some* opportunities for me to see and/or travel behind...

    Severn Valley Railway winter steam gala January 2024

    Ah OK, then I stand corrected! I'd forgotten it was like that last year. Anyway, I like it that way. I know there was an interminable...

    On this subject, I notice that loco allocations have been included in the free timetables on the SVR website this year. That used not to be the...

    I agree with both points here. As far as on-train dining goes, I don't expect it to be cheap. I've only ever eaten aboard once on the SVR, and...
