Steam Trains at Severn Valley Railway postponed due to extreme weather
From Wednesday to Friday, the station's steam trains will not be running due to the increased likelihood of fires alongside the tracks.A spokesperson for the railway station said:"The serious ongoing risk of lineside fires means we have decided not to operate our steam locomotives on the line over the next few days.
"The hot dry weather poses a significant risk of fires being started by the cinders escaping from the engines." The Severn Valley Railway will continue to run on its timetable A, which will see six trains depart during the day, taking passengers on its normal route from Bridgnorth to Kidderminster.
