All Aboard for the Severn Valley Railway This Summer

Step back in time to experience the golden age of travel with journeys behind original steam trains and heritage diesel locomotives.

From the end of July, passengers will once again be able to travel the full 16 miles of line between Kidderminster and Bridgnorth, following an embankment collapse earlier in the year.

The Engine House Visitor Centre at Highley is at the mid-point of the line and an ideal stop off point. During the summer, families with youngsters can ‘Train to be a Trainee’. Perkins the Station Master and Junior the Apprentice will be on hand to introduce a range of fun-filled activities at The Engine House.

There’ll be steam-themed games, the opportunity to jump on an engine’s footplate, and sort the mail in a travelling post office carriage. Can you collect items for Perkins’ lunch and find everything Junior has misplaced in the scavenger hunt?

Plus, everyone’s favourite stay ‘n’ play activity is back at The Engine House with Train Time UK. If your child loves playing trains, they will adore playing mini-trains amongst the big ones!

Activities take place every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday during the school summer holidays, from 11am-3pm. Activities are free of charge to those who travel by heritage train.
