I love this short film. I've watched it over and over... the SVR is the best and most loved preserved railway in Britain.
How lucky we are today to have the SVR thanks to all involved past and present. 🚂🚃🚃🚃
I think we’ve got something to be proud of is an understatement!
there just something about this preserved railway that so special when compared to the others.
I always love going the railway when I get time to. I'm hoping sometime soon Tornado returns to it or even other engines.
Indeed. It has every ingredient you could wish for. An ideal track length (16 miles; 30-40 minute ride), a tunnel, viaducts, stunning Victoria Bridge, picturesque riverside scenery, picture-postcard country stations with passing loops, interesting curvy line (no boring miles-long long straights), interesting things to do at the stop-offs: Kidderminster Railway Museum, Bewdley Georgian town, Arley gardens and river-walk, Bridgnorth town, Severn Valley country park, Highley Engine House. Not to mention a great collection of locos, steam and deisel, and rolling stock and the extensive facilities to renovate and service them. It's got absolutely everything. How lucky to have so much in the one place.
@@paulgmarriott that's why this railway is to me the most special preserved line in Britain. It's a peaceful heavenly place.
After seeing the end of steam and the rundown of the railway network the Severn Valley gave us hope.
beautiful
Thanks for posting this! It's great to see how just a small group of people can make such a difference and set up a fantastic preserved line like the SVR.
Four young enthusiasts in a local in pub with a truer vision than many big businessman well done , thank you.
David howley what a nice guy
Go SVR. It shall live on as long as i live. And i one day shall help them to
Can u make a follow up about possible expansion to and reopening of old stations e.g an expansion to iron bridge
Wonderful film. Wonderful railway. Not exactly as we remember it though. There is a 20mph speed limit today. Under BR the trains ran much faster!
In 2024 asking a grandmother or grandfather "is this what is was like in your day granny or grandpa", the answer would be no it wasn't for there was no railway here in those days as BR had ripped most of it up. The great grandparents who could have remembered it in it's heyday but are mostly all dead now.

What's the "music" for? Just the job for people with tinnitus who are struggling with the speech.
