Festive Season Service 2025

27, 28, 30 & 31 December

Trains are running from Friday 26 – Sunday 28 December and Tuesday 30 December – Sunday 2 January 2026. Plus, don’t miss the return of Winter Diesel Day on Monday 29 December, and the spectacular Winter Steam Gala on 3–4 January 2026!

There’s so much to see, do and discover on a day out at the Severn Valley Railway, including FREE ENTRY to The Engine House Visitor Centre. Alight at Highley Station and then its just a short walk to The Engine House where you can get close to some very special locomotives, including ‘Gordon’ the blue engine, and take a peek through the windows of King George VI’s royal carriage. There’s an outdoor play area, café, gift shop and plenty to keep everyone occupied.

Trains operate between Kidderminster and Bridgnorth. The trains stop at all of our intermediate stations, so you can get off to explore Bewdley, Arley, Highley and Hampton Loade. Find out more about our stations and what to do. At Kidderminster and Bridgnorth, the trains take a short break, so you can see the locomotives up close.
