The Severn Valley Railway is gearing up to host the Railway 200 event, set to take place on the 5th and 6th of July, with a special focus on the history of train travel. The event, themed 'Trains through the Ages,' will feature the iconic LNER Peppercorn Class A1 No 60163 ‘Tornado’ pulling vintage LNER teak carriages from 1922, offering visitors a nostalgic journey back in time. Alongside this historical showcase, the event will also highlight the HydroFLEX, a hydrogen-ready passenger train developed by Porterbrook, demonstrating cutting-edge sustainable travel technology. Attendees can explore an exhibit of historic narrow gauge engines, enjoy rides on Great Western Railway engines like the 7802 ‘Bradley Manor’ and the 1450, and learn from educational programs aimed at inspiring future talents in the railway industry. The 'Inspiration' exhibition train, which arrived at the Severn Valley Railway as part of its national tour, will also be on display, providing insights into the evolution of railways. More information about the event can be found on svr.co.uk, with advance booking required for access to the 'Inspiration' train display.
