The Severn Valley Railway will host an 11-day event over the summer of 2025 to mark Railway 200, exploiting the unique capabilities of the railway.
As part of the celebrations, a new and unique exhibition train is due to open to the public on 27 June at the Severn Valley Railway as part of a national celebration of the 200th anniversary of the modern railway.
The touring train, named Inspiration, is expected to visit 60 locations across Britain over 12 months up to summer 2026, creating a buzz of interest and excitement at mainline stations, heritage railways and rail freight sites.
