Spring Diesel Festival

First two guests announced! Class 58 No 58023 will make its first-ever appearance in preservation at the event. Class 47 47712 and a set of push-pull DBSO coaches will join the Spring Diesel Festival, courtesy of Locomotive Services Group.

Hear the thrash and feel the power as things get very loud, when the Severn Valley Railway hosts four intensively-timetabled days of diesel traction on 18th to 21st May at the Spring Diesel Festival.

Locomotives of all classes from across 60 years of diesel traction will bring noise throughout the Valley.

The best of the varied SVR fleet will be joined by special guests – both preserved and currently in main-line operation.

Tickets for individual days will be available alongside multi-day rovers, allowing you to experience heritage diesel power and save money.
