SVR to operate diesel-only services until 25th July

Severn Valley Railway to operate diesel-only services until 25th July

Important announcement: The continuing hot, dry weather means the SVR will continue to run diesel-hauled services only for the next few days. We will review the situation next Monday 25th July.

However, our purple steam loco, No.70 ‘Elizabeth II’ WILL be in steam to haul the Queen’s Baton Relay this Saturday 23rd July. It will be assisted by a diesel locomotive in order to help prevent the chances of a lineside fire.
