We had a wonderful couple of days out on the Severn Valley railway - Kidderminster Station was where we started, and to be fair looking at the timings all the later trains are coming back towards Kidderminster so probably a good place to start. Parking was in the adjacent car park (chargeable) and the station itself has toilets and a cafe etc. Quite a queue to pick up the physical tickets when we got there, so be prepared for that...! Our ticket also gave us a free return ticket for another operational day so we actually used it the day after to go to a station we didn't get time to visit on the day before. We all enjoyed are day, and the only small annoyance was not getting seated when we rejoined the train after a stop (usually a stop in middle as opposed to at the begin or far end...!)
Great fun and good value for money.
Gala weekend had plenty of trains to hop and hop off.
All the stations had decent facilities.
Highly engine shed is well worth a visit and has a decent cafe with good views of the running trains.
Brilliant day out.
I surprised the kids with a lovely day out at Severn valley. Planned this a week before and just turned up with the prepaid tickets then got the first stream train to Kidderminster from Bridgnorth then got dinner at Kidderminster then stopped off at Highley to have a look around the engine house which all the girls enjoyed.
Well worth the money. Really good day out if you want a step back in time and take it nice and slow. Helpful and friendly staff and a very easy and quick online booking system. The line is a great length, not too long but long enough to enjoy the ride. All the facilities are well kept - even the toilets. I honestly don't know how they can improve - recommend this place fully.
What an amazing day! Went from Kidderminster to Bridgnorth on the Severn Valley Railway on one of the steam engines. Amazing atmosphere! Had a lot of fun. Highly recommended for a day out with the family, the significant other, or solo.
Always a good day out, but very expensive for Gala special events. Last weekend was £40 ticket. No single fairs.
The station itself is clean, has toilets, a bar, a dining room and cafe. Ice cream shop expensive, but nice ice cream.
Lovely route along the railway past the Safari Park.
A good day out for the family, but id choose a non Gala day cos of the price. Unless of course your a "crank" (train enthusiast) then if you need the engine you'll pay the money.
Wonderful day out, takes you back years, sights, sounds and smells of days past. Plenty to see, and a train ride out is a must do! Great for kids and adults alike!
Marvellous day out celebrating our Golden Wedding Anniversary. Pulled by the mighty American engine Ohama at the steam gala week. Meal in Bridgnorth then back to the beer festival at the Engine House. Great!!!
Great periodic station. The railway itself isn't cheap but it costs a lot to keep the railway running. Be aware that some services are pulled by diesel trains. Well worth a visit.
Excellent heritage railway with amazing scenic railway route.I attended during diesel gala and felt they had been too successful, as in big queues and shorage of parking.I hope to return one day to enjoy it some more.
