We were given a lovely gift of a Sunday Lunch on the Ventura steam train run by volunteers. The ticket cost over £100 for the 2 of us. We really enjoyed the experience but the food was terrible and at around £35 each which is the sort of price you would pay for a meal in a really good resturant for Sunday lunch just not good enough. I wrote to them and finally recieved a very strong and forceful letter from the lady who had cooked the meal. We did recieve 2 tickets to go on the train anytime but not including any food. I fully accept that the train is manned by voluteers who I don't want to bash, however, I think if your offering a service to make money for the Severn Valley Ltd you really h...
The railway which is I believe the third longest in the UK offers railway lovers the experiences they crave. Old fashioned stations, artifacts and atmosphere to die for. The trains are a proper length with plenty of coaches, good on board facilities and tremendous journey along the Severn. Lots of stations to get on and off at and such nice people. Mostly retired they love to chat especially if you give them praise for stations and gardens. A time past that we have sadly lost to efficiency and modernisation.

Lovely tourist attraction. Beautiful Severn Valley Railway line pacing by the West Midlands Safari Park and along the edge of the River Severn. Very authentic Heritage Railway. Lovely little stations en-route where you can get off and have a wonder around or go to the Engine House at Highley. Great for families, couples or people who want remember or see how things were in the golden age of steam.Lots of special weekends arranged throughout the year
What a fantastic place. Very relaxing at Kidderminster station, sit, have a drink and bite to eat and watch the world go by. Then board a train to Bridgnorth and have a wander around high town. Then travel back. All round a good day out

We didn't even know that there was a steam engine until we drove through the town and heard the whistle and decided we must visit en famille.
Always a good day out, great fun on a steam train. Also the food on special days is really good along with trips like Murder Mystery.
Great experience, took a picnic and ate it on board. Lazy journey to Bridgnorth, had a walk around then returned 2 hours later.
Had a brilliant time on the steam train, the sounds smells were just great, lovely scenery especially passing the animal park.

Great day out no matter what the weather is like. Hop on and off as often as possible with a day ticket.
