Full steam ahead as Severn Valley Railway chugs into the past for rip-roaring 1940s weekend
The first weekend of the Severn Valley Railway's Step Back To The 1940s event was off to a sun and steam-powered start.
The first of two 1940s weekends at the Severn Valley Railway was off to a roaring start on Saturday, as over 1,300 people descended on the historic railway line for some rip-roaring 1940s fun.
Running for over two decades, the event recreates a taste of life on the home front for thousands of visitors for two weekends each summer along the 16 miles of railway.
