Great shots of this collapse as it shows perfectly just what river scouring can do to any bridge structure. A modern fabricated corrugated tubular steel structure could replace the entire old brick arch, which could well have more hidden defects in it.
I know it says land slip but that seems secondary to the bridge failing on the wing sections at the entrance. Looking at the back section of the bridge it has 2 wing supporting sections and it looks like there has been extreme water ingress undermining the wings section and causing a collapse at the entrnace section and then the embankment has slipped away again due to water ingress. I hope they can fix it without to much problem. I wonder if there is a possibility to slew the line over and have a speed limit restriction while the work is carried out? Obviously a full structural assessment needs to be carried out on the bridge first.
Hi there thanks for this film. As a shareholder and member at SVR really sad that this happened but after Bridgewater canal breach this is a thing to come im afraid. Looks like a long section will need shoring up Caroline.
@@carolinecleaveley-q1r very sad indeed, Severn Valley is a local railway to me and after this I want to raise as much awareness as possible. The railway has shown strength and resilience before and I’m sure it will do the same this time around
Remember working on 7819 back in the 1980s too. 7812 and 7802 great to see them back home. 7812 for a short time then off to WSR again with Ratbag 6960. Caroline. Alleys or other carrier will have to pick her up from Bridgenorth i expect. Caroline.
Looking at the drone footage I would have though it would be possible to slew the line across to the other side of the formation and put a 5 MPH temporary speed restriction in until the repairs have been completed. Obviously a structural engineer would have to survey the area before this could be done and it would need to be passed by the Railway Inspector.
Historically, this has always been a problem area . Feel really sorry for them but hope we are all willing to send some money to their Resilience Fund to help out.
At least the majority of the line is still usable and there is plenty of available stock on that section. The majority of the steam fleet being trapped at Bridgnorth is the main operational issue. Tbh that looks like a partial bridge failure, I wonder if the stream has scoured under the span on one side?
I suppose whilst there are a lot of steamers up at Bridgnorth, rolling stock I'm guessing is all south at Kidderminster. Temporarily run services to Hampton Load whilst fund raising is underway. Are there any In Service steam locos around Bewdley or Kidderminster? Or is it largely a diesel fleet? Thanks for the video though, makes it clear now where the land slip has occurred. Wasnt sure if this was north or south of Hampton Loade from from the intiial stories.
I believe all active steam locomotives are currently at Bridgnorth shed. Plans to move by road are in motion but I think it will be a small amount that move due to costs and space at Bewdley/Kidderminster
@@elliotgane8088they are meant to have a steam in lights experience soon in February to March from Kidderminster called the Boogie Express. I am wondering whether they managed to get the steam locomotive and carriages on the correct side of this landslide before the landslide occured.
@@elliotgane8088 I think the Autumn steam gala might be cancelled. But unlike the 2007 floods the railway seems to be a lot more prepared and the new General Manager has ties to Network Rail and firms who might be able to assist with rebuilding the section of line.
Could they move some of the steam trapped at Bridge north by road? To operate the rest of the line? We've got to now expect these incidents, everything is getting so old and surely coming to the end of its designed life, people are going to have to start digging even deeper in their pockets if they want all these wonderful attractions to survive 😢
Looks like a failure of part of that arch was the principal cause. That arch is a relatively thin construction, probably because it’s buried in the embankment keeping the forces around it fairly even. I’m not a qualified civil engineer but I would guess that a complete rebuild of that arch may be needed. If that’s the case then that’s time consuming and expensive. Hope I’m wrong. Good luck.

Thanks for the coverage mate, shame to see this but hopefully they can get it sorted!
@@brunelheritage awful to see, hopefully funding goes well and we soon have a fully operational railway again
When not able to run because due to landslip early this February 2025

Could have done without the monotonous noise!
Nice to see Bradley manor back home after overhaul

I agree, it's more bridge failure than landslip from the looks of it. The flooded stream has likely scoured out the foundations over a period of time.
Ditch the music.
Thanks for sharing, I had seen another video of this landslip, but it wasn't a drone footage giving a better perspective of the damage!

We will back Jonathon Gus Dunster and his team in doing this. Caroline

That needs a emergency repairs for the volunteers and the community of the seven valley railway.
Without doubt this job will be contracted out, design and build. Pway, S&T etc volunteers will do their bit afterwards though I'm sure!😄
oh dear hope they can sort it out
Hope they bounce back from this quickly.

Amazing video keep up the fantastic work and love the music for it I hope they can repair it soon
I hope they can repair it soon and get back to full working, devastating for everyone involved
@Rail125 yeah plus now they got to do passengers service from kiddminster to Hampton load and back to kiddminster station on 15th 😊

Didn't svr have this problem a few years back?
I remember that was a kid ....... I'm 33 now lol nig kid but yes they missed a session I think
We’ve had a couple at GWSR. Looks nasty. Best of luck to you guys.
In 2007 when there was huge floods. There were many landslides. One huge landslide occurred at Highley station.

Only operational steamer I couldn’t see was the mogul, do we know if that’s tucked away at Bridgnorth somewhere?
@@AnthonyFurnivalTrains I would have thought so, however I couldn’t make out what was inside
Sometimes they leave 1 or 2 them at bewdley.
Hope it is there. If they road travel one I guess it will be tank engine
I was wondering where this had happened on the line. After seeing these drone shots its now confirmed the location.
Glad it clears things up for you, such a shame and shows the size of the task at hand

I tend to agree and a solution won,t be cheap. Perhaps a reline of the culvert to strength it is one possible answer.
That is not insignificant. I can see a protracted and expensive replacement project. Hand in pocket time, me thinks.
Yeah. Its almost an entirely new bridge would need to be built, surely?
More to fall by the look of it. Bugger.
