Severn Valley Railway

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...!)

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.

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.

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.
