Safety First...
As a responsible tourist organisation and train operating company we take the safety of our visitors and staff very seriously indeed.
Safety Booklet
All visit organisers are advised to refer to our booklet 'Essential Pre-Visit Reading For School Group Leaders'.
Please request the password for this when booking and do not hesitate to contact us with any particular queries concerning health and safety.
Preview Visits
Complimentary tickets are available for bona fide teachers wishing to make a preliminary visit to the SVR prior to a visit by pupils. Tickets are limited to two per booking and are date limited. When requesting these tickets you will be asked for the proposed date of your preliminary visit.
Free Adult Places
The Severn Valley Railway operates a free places scheme for supervising adults, which varies depending on the number of fare paying children. One adult will travel free with every ten (or part of ten) paying children. In the interests of safety and discipline and in the interests of our staff and other passengers, school groups booking visits to the Severn Valley Railway must take up the free allocation of supervisors’ places.
Our Insurance
As you would expect from a train operating company, Severn Valley Railway (Holdings) PLC maintains comprehensive public liability insurance.
