The Severn Valley Railway has partnered with Select Bus Services, to encourage more people to travel to its heritage line by public transport.

Passengers using routes to travel to Bridgnorth from Telford, Shifnal, Shrewsbury and Much Wenlock will be able to receive a 10% discount at cafes and gift shops across the Severn Valley line, on production of their bus ticket or pass.

Ben Brown, Select Bus Services managing director, said:

“We’re very excited to be entering into partnership with the Severn Valley Railway to bring more visitors to this very popular heritage railway. We have several routes (113-116 and 436) travelling into Bridgnorth, the SVR’s northern terminus station, and connections on route 297 can be made at Bridgnorth or Kidderminster. Our single fare cap of £3 is great value and is available through to March 2027.”

Lewis Maddox, the SVR’s visitor engagement manager, added:

“We’re keen to encourage as many visitors as possible to leave their cars at home and travel to us by public transport wherever possible. Our new partnership with Select Bus Services enables us to do just that, with the bonus of discounts at our leading heritage attraction for bus passengers.”
