The Severn Valley Railway Charitable Trust supports vital rolling stock, infrastructure and educational projects to protect and preserve the Railway so it can be enjoyed for generations to come.
​
Over ten years, the incredible support we’ve received from generous donors and grant makers has enabled a diverse range of crucial projects to happen. The SVR’s flagship locomotive, Hagley Hall has been overhauled, and is now back into steam; the Bridgnorth Locomotive Works roof and crane appeal is in progress; the majestic Falling Sands Viaduct restored; 14 heritage apprentices trained and much, much more.
