    Severn Valley Railway to launch £4,000,000 share issue.

    Just as long as it wasn't then decided that the deal was too good and should therefore be terminated forthwith! That wouldn't do much for the PR,...

    Severn Valley Spring Steam Gala - 22/23/24 March 2013

    A slightly belated message of appreciation for everyone (and I mean that literally) on the SVR that I encountered on Saturday, for providing a...

    2013 Timetables?

    That's interesting, certainly. The name "Family Pass" gives me pause, though: with many "family tickets" on buses and NR trains, you must have at...

    SVR Loco Newsy News / discussions

    I spent most of yesterday at the SVR, with two steam trips (43106) and two diesel ones (50031 and D8188) and didn't hear a single passenger...

    Bristol Harbour Railway 2012 Dates

    Thank you; much obliged. It seems even odder than I'd first envisaged, but of course what actually appears may be different again. (Secondary...

    Bristol Harbour Railway 2012 Dates

    Are there any precise details about what would happen to the BHR if the BRT2 plan went through as proposed? The short comment on the site you...

    Bristol Harbour Railway 2012 Dates

    I think this is the most recent thread on the BHR, so apologies if I'm wrong on that... Anyway, I visited on Saturday -- despite having strong...

    Ex-Barry locos which were highly regarded in BR days

    Wikipedia's rail coverage is poor overall (much worse than, say, its cricket coverage) but since accreditation is not required to edit it, if they...

    Severn Valley Online Newsletter

    A minor point about the newsletter: it seems slightly odd to have a bold-type notice in the Contacts box on p2 saying "This newsletter is intended...

    How can railways make best use of social networking?

    And there's also the oldest social network of them all -- word of mouth. Very recently I told some friends about the SVR gala, and showed them a...

    How can railways make best use of social networking?

    I think London Midland have this one broadly right, actually. They have a reasonably easy to navigate website, which is where you go to look up...

    Severn Valley Spring Gala 23-25 March 2012

    Bad form to reply to one's own post, I know... but sadly it seems (again from the SVR Forum) that this isn't going to happen, and that 4464 won't...

    Severn Valley Spring Gala 23-25 March 2012

    On which note (sort of) there's some talk on the SVR Forum about whether Bittern might stay at the railway long enough to operate over Easter....

    Severn Valley Spring Gala 23-25 March 2012

    I was there on Friday, but the timetabling was very similar, so I can understand that. From a purely selfish point of view, I'd prefer every train...

    Which loco will haul the Olympic Torch?

    Common safety & acess procedures?

    That could be the case, yes. I've no idea exactly when the RM asked its questions, and it might have been (for example) at a hectic time in...

    Common safety & acess procedures?

    That's true, and a fair point. That said, some of those others might (I don't know) simply be down to disorganisation. If what RM says is...
