Winter Diesel Day
2025-12-29 00:00 - 23:59 (Europe/London) | Severn V​alley Railway, Station Approach, Kidderminster, DY10 1QX, United Kingdom
The Winter Diesel day returns on Monday 29 December 2025 and we’re looking forward to lots of diesel action care of the SVR home fleet, plus a couple of special Class 37 visitors!
What to expect at the Winter Diesel Day? The event will feature home-fleet and visiting locomotives operating a busy timetable between Kidderminster and Bridgnorth. Our heritage carriages will be steam heated and the engines are sure to be working hard! If you and your family love diesel, this is the place to be! Ride behind every locomotive, visit The Engine House at Highley to break your day, and sample the finest real-ales in our pubs. Perfect for those young and old, experience the Severn Valley at its loudest!
The Station gift shops, cafes and restaurant kiosks will also be open selling food and hot drinks, and The Engine House is open.
