Welcome to your latest edition of Branch Lines!

On the surface, things are looking much quieter at the Railway, as we shut down for a few weeks, prior to the very busy festive season services, which start at the end of this month.

We very much hope you’ll be able to join us for one of the exciting Christmas experiences that we’ve got lined up.

Appearances of calm can, however, be deceptive, and although we’re closed to the public, there’s a huge amount going on across the line. Fear not, your November Branch Lines will bring you up-to-date on it all!

From the sheer hard graft of the Kidderminster platform extension project to the great news that the SVR has been shortlisted for three national RailStaff awards…from the success of the recent O Gauge Get-together and the Ghost Trains to the work that the Railway’s visiting stonemason is undertaking at Bewdley station. Plus, your favourite heritage line hogs the limelight in the most recently released episode of the ‘Green Signals’ video podcast!

All this and more in your November edition of Branch Lines. We hope you enjoy reading it.
