The Severn Valley Railway has announced that steam locomotives will be once again hauling trains from tomorrow (Thursday 19th July 2018).

As you will be aware, the heatwave that the UK has been through has dried all the grass out on the line side and meant that there was a greater risk of lineside fires, so, the Severn Valley Railway has been running their trains with diesels instead.

However, the railway has reviewed the situation that they are and the railway has decided that steam locomotives are once again allowed to be on the front of trains from this Thursday, the 19th July 2018.

The locomotives that will be in use initially will be No. 7802 Bradley Manor and the 100-year-old locomotive No. 2857.
