A project on the march in March - a Bridgnorth Yard Update
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
As our major track improvement project at Bridgnorth Yard enters its final weeks, our cameras went back on site to find out what's involved in installing one of the most complicated sections of point work on the entire Severn Valley line. Barry the permanent way manager says "it's like a big Airfix kit, with no plan and no glue!".
As you'll discover in our latest update film, the gang of staff and volunteers find a way of making it all fit together.

The 'permanent way' teams always work so hard. To paraphrase the old song "That's the sound of a man working on the railway." :)
Track work! My absolute favorite...said no railroad volunteer anywhere, ever. But, as he said, no tracks no trains.
We”ll be there for the Spring Steam Gala Filming at Kidderminster, Bewdley, Arley, Highley & hopefully Bridgnorth can’t wait to return to SVR
Thank you so much for the work you do on preserving this national treasure. See you at the autumn steam gala
Smashing job I love Severn Valley Railway👍
Very hard work !!!... and very profesionally presented...thank you !
Dads "Orange" army hard at it. Well done guys.😄👍
Your TBM (temporary bench mark). Iam pleased you can still obtain bull-head rail. Tfl (and indeed, BR) kept to it for years as Vignoles was unsuitable in tunnels.
I’ll be there next month just in time for the spring steam gala
Those boys on the permanent way team are working really hard to get the track completed and I hope that they will get the track ready for the spring gala

What would we do without the good people who work towards looking after the tracks of the railway.
So what are they actually doing? Just simply replacing what was there or adding in something for better operations?

I think its both. The junction assembly was nearing the end of its life span, and the new points were relocated off the bridge to the north for safer operation

Blimey £40k! And I thought the Hornby express points were expensive at £25.

They are! As OO gauge is 1/76 scale, going by volume of material, you have to multiply your £25 by 76 cubed, which comes to nearly £11 million!
Will trains be able to run the full line from Kidderminster to bridgnorth I've got tickets booked for April keep up the good work guys 😉

Always with the begging bowl and doing less and less for the enthusiast. SVR is basically alton towers with trains now

Absolute nonsense. It takes a lot of money to run a large heritage railway so appeals for funds are part of the package. The SVR is a railway enthusiasts mecca, I get an enormous amount of inspiration for my railway modelling activities from the SVR.
