The Severn Valley Railway has confirmed its intention to progress with ‘One Railway’, a radical organisational restructure that it announced in December 2024.
It said the decision follows a period of "intensive consultation" with shareholders of the Bridgnorth-based train operating company, Severn Valley RailwaBridgy (Holdings) Plc, and with members of the Severn Valley Railway Company Limited, the separate organisation that looks after membership and volunteers.
"We’ve held a series of face-to-face and online meetings for our stakeholders," said Jonathan ‘Gus’ Dunster, the managing director of SVR (Holdings).
"The feedback we got from the many people we spoke to was overwhelmingly positive. People understand why we need to change our structure – in fact for many people, it can’t come soon enough!
