The Severn Valley Railway has announced the trial return of a popular photo charter service giving photographers the chance to get exclusive views of a vintage engine.
The Severn Valley Railway is trialling the return of photo charters next month, after their temporary withdrawal two years ago because of concerns over safety.
The railway is to hold an initial trial photo charter on Tuesday, April 18, featuring GWR 4079 ‘Pendennis Castle’, which is visiting the Severn Valley Railway to take part in its Spring Steam Gala between April 14 and 16. The photo charter will be run in partnership with Timeline Events, and will see Pendennis Castle paired with an SVR set of Great Western carriages.
"Very importantly for us, it greatly reduces the risks that were previously identified when large groups of photographers had lineside access, and which led to us temporarily withdrawing photo charters in 2021.
