Heritage railway visitors are being invited to get aboard the Severn Valley Railway for a special trip to mark the 60th anniversary of the closure of the line.
Ex-GWR pannier tank 7714 will help mark 60 years since the last full train on the length of the Severn Valley Railway
Now 60 years on the heritage line will commemorate the diamond event with a special train ride to recreate part of that final trip all those years ago. By the time the line closed in 1963 as part of the Beeching railway cuts, it was served by diesel railcars, but the final departure from Bridgnorth to Birmingham Snow Hill was steam-hauled.
At the time it looked as though more than a century of Severn Valley railway history had come to a close.
