The Severn Valley Railway is to host the opening of the Inspiration train to celebrate Railway 200.

Inspiration will celebrate the past, present and future of the railways.

Tickets are limited for the 27th, 28th and 29th June, as well as the 5th and 6th July.

Tickets are free, but time slots must be pre-booked, and a small booking fee will be applied, according to the Severn Valley Railway.

‘It’s wonderful that the Severn Valley Railway is the first venue in the country for this unforgettable event,’ said SVR managing director Jonathan ‘Gus’ Dunster. ‘We know that it’s going to be a massive attraction for families and people of all ages, and we’re proud to host it at Kidderminster Town station as part of our 10-day celebration of Railway 200. This is definitely something you don’t want to miss!’
