SVR Photo Guide

Ive noticed there are Photo Guides for other railways but not the SVR?
I know of a few good places would like people to share any places they think are well worth a shot?

My places include:
Crossing cottage (northbound & Southbound)
Fotters Bank
Eardington Station
The field adjacent to Sterns
Just south of Little Rock cutting
Waterworks Crossing
The new footpath about 400m south of Hampton loade
The partridge field north of Country Park Halt
Top of Highley bank
Fishermans crossing/ Borle Straight
Arley Station
Vic Bridge
Trimpley waterworks
Northwood
Horse farm Crossing
Dowles Junction
Bewdley North Outer Home
Bewdley Station
Bewdley South Signal Box
Anywhere by the P-way Depot
Safari park curve
Bewdley south Down distant

I cant think of any decent shots around KDR off the top of my head.
If anyone has anywhere else please feel free to add to my list.[/list]

 

Do you have pictures from the locations, on fotopic or similar sites?

If not, anyone else have any? Would be good to eventually have guides to all the heritage lines, or at least some of the more regularly photted!

 

Thanks for those. I've been trying to get to know the SVR better recently. I take it a lineside pass is needed for some of the spots you mention...?

Is Sterns also known as 'Severn Lodge'?

Two I could add are Falling Sands Viaduct at Kidder and the view of Wribbenhall Viaduct taken from Church View, Bewdley.

I do have many photos of these sites but my not on digital mainly on 35mm I am looking at a new scanner so i can have most of my collection online hopefully not to far in the future

 

I would add that without a the blue fence which is no longer there this would is a good spot

Agreed
Once the 2nd loading dock is complete the fencing will disappear and maybe the shot aswell because the diner set will be stable there, which is a shame

 

i once tried to enquire about lineside passes at the SVR.

do you have to be a member to obtain one?

 

I've tried to find out about lineside passes as well, but got nowhere. Any info would be much appreciated.

 

For quite a lot of "lineside" locations at the SVR you dont need a lineside pass.

All of the photos were taken at either stations, level crossings or on public footpaths. http://railways.mjspencer.com/site/thum ... ?album=186

 

Excellent stuff, have always found locations on the SVR hard to find.

Any chance you could post some directions and notes about some of these locations?

Was that really taken from a path around the SVR??? it's a superb location, one i would definietly spend a few hours at

 

Yep. Its a footcrossing near Trimpley Reservoir.

It is the footcrossing in between Folly Point and the works

 

wow thanks matt

does anyone have any ideas what the 'theme' is next year??

 

the foot crossing is about 1/4 of mile from the waterworks site.

 

my nephew has some pictures from some of those spots as he works at Arley on the station the website is http://www.james365.fotopic.net

 

any clue as to where this is?

North of Highley I think. About 1/2 mile from the station.
Feel free to PM if needs be

 

looks like top of Highley bank to me

 

Its the footpath crossing just over the top of Highley bank, where the old miner's Halt used to be. Easily accessible via the footbridge over the river from the Severn Valley Country Park Car Park.

 

Yes that is most definitely at the top of Highley bank as thats Highley UP distant. It quite a sun trap down that area but nice shot.
