The Severn Valley Railway has been named as a finalist for a prestigious award.
Staff and volunteers at the heritage railway have a lot to smile about after being selected as a finalist in the 2025/26 Visit Worcestershire Awards.
The railway is in the running to scoop the 'Large Visitor Attraction' award.
The regional tourism awards celebrate excellence in the industry, and this year Visit Worcestershire has received more applications than ever before.
Jonathan 'Gus' Dunster, managing director at the SVR, said: "The competition is very tough. We're absolutely delighted to have made it to the finals.
"We pride ourselves in putting our visitors first, whilst also keeping focus on the history, passion and commitment that have made us 'a leading standard-gauge steam railway', according to Visit England.
"We’re constantly listening to visitor feedback and making improvements. This is borne out by five-star visitor reviews on TripAdvisor and many positive comments received on social media."
The SVR has recently celebrated the return of trains to Bridgnorth following an embankment collapse in January, with none other than 'Flying Scotsma' reopening the whole line in time for the summer holidays.
Visit Worcestershire will announce the award winners at a special event planned for March 2026.
