MEMBERSHIP: Why not join us?... The scheme to preserve part of the original Severn Valley Railway began in 1965. The line from Bridgnorth to Hampton Loade was re-opened in 1970, and extended in stages, reaching Kidderminster in 1984. The Severn Valley Railway is largely volunteer operated - indeed, without this help the SVR would not survive. From our membership of around 13,000 several hundred members actively help to run the Railway on a day to day basis.
