The Severn Valley Railway line was built between 1858 and 1862, and linked Hartlebury, near Droitwich Spa, with Shrewsbury, a distance of forty miles. Critical stations on the line were Stourport-on-Severn, Bewdley, Arley, Highley, Hampton Loade, Bridgnorth, Coalport, Ironbridge and Broseley, Buildwas, Cressage and Berrington.
SVR trains typically operate over the entire line length calling at most stations.The "halts" (Country Park Halt and Northwood Halt) are request stops.Passengers may use these halts during sunlight hours only.Trains are include the Severn Valley Limited and the Severn Valley Venturer which are the principal dining car trains (typically on Sundays) SVR trains generally operate over the entire line length calling at most stations.
The Great Western Train line (GWR) 5700 Class is a class of 0-6-0 pannier tank steam locomotive, built between 1929 and 1950. 863 were built, making them the second most-produced Brit class of steam locomotive.The GWR had favoured Pannier Tank locomotives since 1911 when they'd started reconstructing saddle tank locomotives built between 1870 and 1905 into this style.
The train line can call on a big fleet to operate its services.Only a reducing core of vehicles basically belong to the train line company, the remainder being owned by associated groups , for example the Great Western organisation, and people.The SVR is also the base of the diesel multiple unit (DMU) West Midland Group.
