Severn Valley Railway Autumn Steam Gala 21st-24th September 2017

When will the Visitors be arriving at the railway

 

above is a copy of the official velo Birmingham map. The points marked "o" or "u" are the only points you can cross the route. I'm willing to help folks find a route in / out if you p.m. me but be patient as I work night shifts.

 

Where is the best place to get breakfast (other than on the train)?

 

AJ's cafe at Kiddy is good: good value for money, nice stuff and great range of stuff. Just round the corner from the station. Usually a lot quicker than the Valley suite.

 

Bewdley Station cafe.

It's been a while but I always found Morrisons in Kiddy was rather useful for breakfast and stocking up with a few provisions for later in the day too.

 

Yes, the morrisons isn't too far away with a Tesco express being even closer.

 

Limited choice of certain provisions though, wink wink, hintedy hint hint!

 

Isn't the traditional SVR fuel Batham's?

 

There is a wide choice of cask ales available at both the King & Castle and the Railwayman's Arms - including some specially brewed for the SVR by Bewdley Brewery.

 

Sorry, I had forgotten Bewdley Brewery.

 

WTT through the post today

 

Looking forward to all of the above!

 

Mine also. Will the tickets follow?
Going back to an earlier question which I can't yet find an answer for, what coaches will make up the overnight trains? I can see it is local 1 and 3 but still can't work out what they are comprised of.
When will we know the way locos are facing?

 

A Facebook reply fromn the SVR says there will be local sets of 4 and 2, if that helps at all.

Patrick

 

Thanks, Patrick. I assume locals 1 and 3 are of 4 and local 2 is of 2.
