Driver's Eye View - Severn Valley Railway - Kidderminster to Bridgnorth

- The Severn Valley Railway is the heritage railway that has it all - tunnels, viaducts, beautifully restored stations and the impressive Victoria Bridge over the River Severn, at the time of construction, the 200-foot railway bridge was the longest single span cast iron bridge in Britain. The railway is home to a substantial fleet of locomotives, both steam and diesel, complimented by a large collection of railway carriages representing all regions of Britain's railways. There is a museum at Kidderminster and the station is an authentic recreation of GWR terminus. Bridgnorth station is close to the attractive town, divided into upper and lower towns, the town is connected to the station via a substantial footbridge and the steepest inland funicular railway in Britain connects the two halves of the town.
Taking 9 years to construct, the line was opened in 1862, today's Severn Valley Railway was originally part of the much longer Shrewsbury to Hartlebury line. The Bewdley to Kidderminster section opened in 1878 and like many railways in the area was operated by the GWR. The line served the local community and transported coal from mines served by the line to nearby power stations as well as customers further afield. The end came in 1963 when passenger services were withdrawn, a mere two years later a plan to save the Severn Valley line was hatched in a pub.
I owe a massive thank you to the staff, footplate crew and volunteers who assisted me in shooting this video.
Please join me for a trip with BR Standard 4MT 4-6-0 locomotive No.75069, designed by R.A. Riddles for mixed traffic use on secondary routes.

My mistake - I misspelt Bridgnorth - there is no 'e'. I hope the good people of Bridgnorth will accept my apologies for misspelling the name of their wonderful town.
Many years ago I had the pleasure of travelling on this beautiful railway with my late father. What happy memories I had as I watched this great video. Thank you for uploading this as it brought back fond memories.
Hi, it is a beautiful railway and I'm pleased this video bought back special memories of time spent with your late father.

Awwwsom Tim. I have walked this line so many times both day and night. Great to see his superb production. Well done indeed. Thank you so much
Thank you Keith, the first time I saw this line, trains had just started running between Bridgenorth and Hampton Loade. As a child my parents used to stop at a transport cafe a mile or so south of Bridgenorth on the road from Kidderminster. My parents couldn't afford to take the family for a ride on the train back then, but the sight of the steam trains on the other side of the valley will always be etched on my memory. Eventually the day came when my parents did take the family for a magical ride on the railway, the line became folklore in my family history. Walking the line must have left you some fascinating memories, we are lucky to live in a country with so many wonderful heritage railways. All the best. Tim.
What a pure joy to travel this line and how the stations are kept so neat and tidy is incredible. Beautiful countryside of Worcestershire to take in en-route and seeing England in all it's glory. I know now why Sir Edward Elgar loved the county of his birth so much to help in his composing of the music he was so renowned for.
Hello, I'm pleased you enjoyed the video, even on a grey day the English countryside along the Severn Valley Railway is beautiful.
I believe that there's a passage in Elgar's 'Introduction and Allegro for strings' that was based on the sound of an engine climbing a bank.
I could ride all day on routes like that; plush, green fields, trees and more trees, landscaped villages with beautiful stations and tunnels!
It is a beautiful part of the country, I'm glad you enjoyed the ride.
Thanks for another great train cab ride video, Tim! 👍🏼🚂
I’ve been looking for a clear cab view on the SVR for ages. Your videos are fab! Thank you.
Thank you for your kind comment, the SVR staff and volunteers are the real heroes, without them videos like this wouldn't be possible.
Hi from New Zealand! My father, who is 89, was born in Bridgnorth. I used to go to a school called Apley Park, situated just north of the town, on the banks of the river Severn, in the late 1960's. I have not been back there since then, but its on my bucketlist.😊😊😊 A beautiful video, and country side.
Hello, nice to hear from New Zealand, I'll be over there in October to see my son and his family, I'll also be taking the opportunity to ride one of Steam Incorporated's special trains. Bridgnorth hasn't changed much since the 60's, it's still an attractive town with plenty to see and do. If you do get to ride a Severn Valley train, I'm sure you'll enjoy the experience, not quite the Manawatū Gorge, but never the less it's a scenic ride with some of the prettiest stations to be seen anywhere.
Eine Fahrt mit der Dampflok in England. Auch sehr schön. Danke für's Mitnehmen☺🍀
Vielen Dank, ich freue mich, dass Ihnen die Fahrt gefallen hat 😊.
Adoro ver trens antigos, ainda mais, com estações tão bem cuidadas e com flores! Parabéns ,!!!
As estações, carruagens e locomotivas são muito bem cuidadas nesta ferrovia. Estou feliz que você tenha gostado do vídeo.
The Severn Valley Railway has needed video footage like this for a long time. Congratulations on making this happen. I can see me watching and listening to the sounds of my weekends enjoying the smell of steam.
The guys at the 'Severn Valley Railway' were really helpful, without their time, effort and fund raising, videos such as this one wouldn’t be possible. I'm glad you enjoyed the ride and I'm sure you'd be happy to join me in saying a big "Thank you to the people of the Severn Valley Railway; we really appreciate what you do".
@@Timsvideochannel1 Here's a thought a Class 50 Bridgnorth to Kidderminster
@@dinmorejunctionmodelrailway That would be nice.
Very enjoyable, brought back fond memories of regularly travelling along the line, walking between stations, attending special events and having a beer at Bridgnorth station.
Hello Robert, from your reply I see that you are very familiar with the SVR and there are few nicer places to enjoy a pint than on the platform at Brigdnorth station. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
What a beautiful journey, thank you.
Thank you, I'm pleased you ennjoyed it.
Great video along this line, well recorded and great sound. Shows the SVR off well!
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride and I'm really grateful to the staff and volunteers at the railway for their help and cooperation in making this video.
A nice ride, a green landscape, a great machine and then this sound: a symphony of tones that inspire every railway fan. Hello Tim, many greetings from Germany. 👍😊🚂🎶👏💯🙋♂
Hello and "Hi" from the UK, I enjoyed reading your description of the ride, it is spot on, almost everyone loves the sound of a steam locomotive 😊.
👍love it.had the privilege to be on the foot plate for my 60 th birthday a day to remember
Wow, a footplate ride, that must have been awesome, I hope this video bought back good memories from your special day 😊.
Another great video, Tim. Many thanks for what you do.
Thank you Jim, I'm glad you enjoyed the ride.
Very scenic line and a great video. It's great that the station buildings have been preserved .Greetings from an Aussie rail fan.
Hello, I've had the pleasure of watching this railway grow from it's humble beginnings when the first section between Bridgnorth and Hampton Loade reopened in 1970. It's amazing to see the railway today, I bet those early preservationists never expected their dreams to one day become the amazing railway we see today.
@@hoolydooly5072It's good to have dreams 😊.
Thank you!
Only watched the webcams before this, so a trip in prime position was a treat!
The webcams are nice to watch, almost like being there. I'm glad you enjoyed the ride, the footplate crew get the best view 😊.
Hi Tim! Hammer good sound from the steam locomotive, so fine adjusted 👍. Really British. Best regards from Hans and Cheers 🍻🇦🇹.
Hello Hans, the locomotive looked and sounded like a new engine. I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride. 🍺 Tim.

beautiful views and a pleasant journey.
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed the video
Great video brings back memories of when I took the train to go to school during WW!!; no gas for school busses.
Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed the video, some of these heritage railways put on evacuation events for local school children, so that they can experience the days you remember. They dress in period cloths and carry tiny suitcases with the few items they were allowed to take with them, they look pretty convincing.
A memorable video indeed!
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed it.
A wonderful train ride. Thanks from Canada.
Hi, its nice hear from Canada, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Best wishes from the UK.
Superbe vidéo. Magnifique voyage. Merci
Merci, je suis content que vous ayez apprécié la balade.
'FANTASTIC' .Easily the most enjoyable cab-ride vid on the Tube. Congratulations and thanks for sharing! Ray.H.
Thank you Ray for your kind comment, although the real heroes are the people who saved and continue to run the railway for us all to enjoy today.
Woo, my local line, been on it so, so many times! This video definitely showed it off nicely! And 75069 sounded in good nick as well, especially going up Eardington. Hopefully the SVR will be able to pull itself out of the financial hole it currently finds itself in.
Hi, the SVR is one of the best, it must be nice to live close enough to be able to call it your local line, 75069 looked and sounded like new, a real credit to those responsible for looking after her. I visited on a week day and from what I saw, the future looks promising, there were plenty of visitors and they looked to be spending freely in the cafes and souvenir shops at Kidderminster station. The SVR has proved its resilience in the past, this isn't the first time the railway has hit financial issues and I'm sure it will pull through again because it has a strong and loyal membership, coupled with a good public image, who wouldn't want to ride an SVR train? My local railway "the Bluebell Railway" keeps reminding people that it is running trains and staging special events with radio and local newspaper advertising and that is helping to keep visitor numbers at a reasonable level. I'm sure the guys running the SVR are up to the task, I'm looking forward to visiting again.
I enjoyed the scenic ride.... greetings from western New York State 👍👏😊❤️🇺🇸
Hi, it's nice to hear from Western New York State, I'm glad you enjoyed the ride 😊.
The sound is great with headphones on. Loved the journey, well done on ethe filming.
Thank you, it's nice to know you enjoyed the ride.
Well done Tim, as always and Thank You .Our familly have been on the SVR many times in the past so this view of the line is much appreciated, theyre all Mums and dads themselves now so ill pass on the link 😊 Quality Footage 😊
Hello, I'm pleased this video reminded you of happy days spent on the railway with your children who are now parents themselves, my story is a similar one, first my parents took me to the railway, then I took my children and now they are taking their children, I'm glad you enjoyed the video 😊.
Thoroughly enjoyed the train ride through the English countryside. Very beautiful and picturesque scenery. Lovely time to spend a day on this train/ride. Thank you for another marvelous production of yours.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the ride 😊.
Excellent video with great sounds.
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed it.
This is oddly soothing to watch and listen to.
Hi, people often tell me that they use my videos to help them drop off to sleep 💤💤💤💤💤😵💫😊.
Many thanks for a fantastic video ,I never ever dreamed about having a cab ride down the valley, I will be there next week for the Autumn gala
Hi, I really enjoyed visiting the railway, nice people, awesome locomotives and some of the best carriages to be found anywhere in the country, especially the full train of LMS stock and the Gresley teak coaches. The coming gala should be a good one, I hope you enjoy the event.
This was magical.
The Bridgnorth Station looks as charming as it has always been.
Your coverage was crisp & clear. Though I wish I could also see the train from inside.
Have a wonderful day, Tim ~
Thank you, I'm away from my home computer at the moment filming in Australia, so I can't give you the link. I have made another video of this trip from a passenger and lineside perspective. If you open my channel and type 'search' it should show up.
Great Video. Travelled line many times. One note though, there is no 'E' in Bridgnorth !!
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed the video; it is a wonderful railway, a real credit to all involved in saving and maintaining the railway for us all to enjoy. I will be uploading a replacement video with spelling errors corrected early next week.
Very nice video.
thanks for taking us
on this wonderfuL journey …
greetings from 🇮🇩 Indonesia
Hello, it's nice to hear from Indonesia, I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
@@Timsvideochannel1 .. you’re most welcome ..
Awesome 👌🏻
My favourite preserved railway of all.
It's certainly up there with the best, I hope you enjoyed the ride 😊.
Nice video, last time I travelled to Bridgnorth I was a raw recruit just joining the RAF this was where we done our square bashing 1954, it was such a shock I signed on for another five years.
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride. Did you join up voluntarily or were you doing national service? I think the return of national service would help a lot of youngsters, a bit of discipline wouldn't go amiss, both my nephews went on to make careers from what they learned in the forces, one in telecommunications and the other became a pilot. The Severn Valley is one of the few places that hasn't changed much over the last half century. Thanks for sharing your memories. Cheers. Tim.
@@Timsvideochannel1 I was National Service but after the two years I signed on for another three years. A glutton for punishment. Totally agree with you, today's young need just the square bashing bit to bring them down to earth.
@@ronholfly I missed National Service, but I think I would have enjoyed it. The discipline of the forces would most likely benefit today's youngsters.
Thanks Tim, yet another corker production! BUT, something appears wrong with SVR policies, so much shiny rolling stock, super buildings and stations yet a very light train which is one of only a few a day cannot maintain a good speed without numerous restrictions?
Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Like most heritage railways these days the SVR is having to cope with the aftermath of Covid restrictions and the high cost of coal to survive. The train was busy and a number of staff commented on the surprisingly high number of passengers travelling on a weekday before the children had broken up for the holidays. From what I saw the passenger numbers bode well for the future of the railway and I'm sure the timetable will be more intensive once the holidays have started. As for speed limits the railway is governed by the usual 25 mph light railway restriction applied to heritage railways, it also is built on a steep sided valley close to the River Severn, this has given rise to speed restrictions of less than 25 mph in places where the trackbed is unstable due to slow moving landslips. In 2017 repairs to the landslip at County Boundary, between Arley and Highley required a £1 million solution involving soil nails and sinking new piling sheets. I think the railway is doing a very good job under demanding circumstances. On the plus side, who would want to speed through such attractive scenery?
Brilliant video, well worth spending the time with three mugs of tea and a packet of biscuits to watch, thank you.
Now we need one going south in the cab of a diesel please.😉
Thank you, it's nice to know you enjoyed the ride and when I visit again, I'll ask for permission to shoot a video in the opposite direction from one of the railway's superb fleet of diesel locomotives.
Qué hermoso compás de la locomotora y junto al bello paisaje, la visión de los "durmientes" bajo los rieles. EMOCIONANTE!!❤
Hola, me alegra que hayas disfrutado el vídeo 😊.
Brilliant, many thanks :D
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the ride 😊.
Excellent video of a great preserved railway thank you😊😊😮
Thank you, I' glad you enjoyed it, the volunteers and staff are doing a wonderful job enabling us all to enjoy the sights and sounds of steam locomotives doing what they were designed to do on one of Britain’s best preserved railways 😊.
Witaj, Tim. Linia torów kolejowych jest prosta, logiczna i mądra. Dziękuję, pozdrawiam.😀

Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed it.
Love the sound of these old steam locomotives make
I totally agree, nothing sounds quite as exciting and yet somehow as relaxing as the exhaust beat of a steam locomotive.
Fantastische rit, flinke snelheid ook !
Bedankt, ik ben blij dat je genoten hebt van de rit
wha wonderful sound, memories of my youth
Hi, it's nice to re-live favourite moments from the past.
Excellent video! Spectacular route, here our steam train has the nickname "Maria Fumaça". Thank you, have a great week!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the ride. "Maria Smoke" sounds like an affectionate name for a steam locomotive. Cheers. Tim.
I didn't realized that the sound of steam engine can be so ... calming 😊
The sound of the rhythmic beat of a steam locomotive and the clickety-clack of the wheels on joined track is often used by people who have difficulty falling asleep to drop off.
Gracias por el vídeo , saludos desde Valencia,un abrazo amigo 👍😃
Hola, es bueno saber de Valencia. Me alegro de que hayas disfrutado el video. Mis mejores deseos desde un West Sussex húmedo y ventoso, Inglaterra 😊☔.
Beautiful Railway Stations of British style of architecture
It's a beautiful railway, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
one of the cutest train journey , wow i just loved when steam engine honks ....................
Thank you, it's nice to know you enjoyed the video.
Just beautiful!!!!!
I'm pleased you enjoyed it 😊.
Excellent video from a line not far from me . Have to get myself down to the Severn valley railway again one day .
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride. You are lucky to have such a wonderful heritage railway nearby; it's well worth another visit.
I have enjoyed the trip as if I had been on the train. Thank you very much for the video. I look forward to enjoying it, in person, next time I'm in the UK.
Hi, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride and when you visit, allow plenty of time because there is so much to see and do, every station is set in beautiful surroundings and there is the 'Engine House' visitor centre at Highley, plus a museum at Kidderminster full of fascinating exhibits from a bygone era.

Amazing route and railway culture !!!
Hi' I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride, the 'Severn Valley Railway' is one of my favourite UK heritage lines, I especially like the smaller stations, they are set in some of the most scenic locations to be found on any preserved railway in Britain.
Awesome
I'm pleased you enjoyed it.
Great video. I liked the photo station tour at every stop. I’m going to visit this summer
Hi, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride. One of the Severn Valley Railway's main attractions for me is the wonderfully restored stations, they are as much part of the railway as the locomotives. I hope you have an enjoyable visit, there is so much to see and do.
Hadn't been that way since 1986. Wyre Forest Junction completely disappeared and the connection to the BSC sidings still there but the sidings long gone.
Hi, there have been a few changes since your last visit, but overall it's still one of the best heritage railways in the country.
So beautiful.
I'm pleased you enjoyed it 😊.
This was a really beautiful video, well done, and now I want to go to England and ride this train. But, it will be in my dreams as I am too old to travel anymore except for the trip to the Cemetary.
Hello, I'm pleased you enjoyed the video. CZcams gives me the opportunity to share my rides with you and for you to enjoy the videos posted by creators like myself, not quite the same as being able to visit in person, but the next best thing.
Brilliant
I'm pleased you enjoyed it 😊.
Excellent Tim excellent, Oh man you got it right again. The stack talk was tremendous. I could tell when the driver was increasing the throttle or when he would hook it up or down, great video👍
Thank you for your kind comment, it's nice to know you enjoyed the video, especially the wonderful sound of a steam locomotive at work.
Yes Tim, there is no sound like a steam loco working up a grade. Diesels just don't sound as good.@@Timsvideochannel1
All chuffing wonderful. Lots and lots of stuff to go oogh at, but it was the wonderful quality of the track that most impressed me. Not exactly heritage, but it goes to show that the Severn Valley Railway are a proper outfit.
The Severn Valley Railway is doing a great job, like many heritage railways, traditional bullhead track is used in the station areas, but increasingly heritage railways are investing in modern track between stations to keep track maintenance costs down and give passengers a comfortable ride, the improved ride also reduces the cost of maintaining the rolling stock.
So professional. I like. Hello from NZ
Hi from the UK, I'm looking forward to visiting New Zealand and Australia next month, I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Enjoy your trip downunder.
@@smallrails6831Thank you.
It's funny how everywhere looks different when viewing it from a train, the Falling Sands Viaduct, for example, is a bridge we drive under all the time because we live very near to this railway but from up above it takes a few seconds to work out where you actually are, the only giveaway here is that big yellow building with 'Stock N Lock' on it!
The view from the viaduct is very different, but it doesn't include the best bit, the viaduct arches that can only be seen from road level.
loved your vidio. so interesting and relaxing to watch. cheers from australia.
Thank you, it's nice to know you enjoyed watching this video. Cheers from the UK.
Удивительная дорога. Особенно поразила конструкция дистанционного переключения стрелок. Англичане молодцы, поддерживающие в рабочем состоянии такую уникальную железную дорогу. Как знать, может в скором времени придется вспомнить забытые инженерные чудеса.

Gee Tim, you keep going to my favourite railways! Did the SVR on our anniversary visit to Shrewsbury in January 2004. Went there again in 2006, although only took lineside shots, mainly at Hampton Loade, on a beautiful warm July afternoon. In 2004 the Severn was marginally flooding Shrewsbury and looked fabulously ominous and dangerous, especially from the big bridge - definitely not a swimming day, as there was frost on the slopes beside the shed roads at Bridgenorth when we arrived in the morning...
I've been a regular visitor to the SVR since I was a youngster back in the 70's when the line only operated between Bridgnorth and Hampton Loade, seeing each new section opening all the way to Kidderminster was the highlight of many family holidays to the area. I'm glad this video bought back pleasant memories from your own visits to the railway. The Severn in full flood is a reminder that even today mother nature still gets the better of man from time to time, like you, I've seen the muddy, swirling waters rushing around the bridge parapets and felt a sudden desire to get back to 'Terra Firma'.

Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride. “Driver's Eye View” isn't totally honest, but I use it in the title to indicate it's a forward view and the dreaded CZcams algorithm picks up on “Driver's Eye View”, whereas it almost completely ignores “Forward View”.

Hello Pete, my daughter 'Abi' (you met her on the Bodmin Railway) joined me on a tour to fit in as many Welsh railways in one week as we could, although we did make an excellent start with this one in England.

With a day off from training in the RAF I took this journey in 1950, I found Kidderminster closed!!!!!
I'd love to time travel to 1950 to see the railway as it was back then, was it just the station or the whole town that was closed such as used to happen in my home town on Wednesdays due to it being half day closing for most shops?
Life in those days was very much railways, in fact so many of them you rarely took notice, now we have lost so many railways and next its cars. I live in Darlington always the home of Stephenson's Rocket, in the last few months that has also gone to another town. I think your Wednesday closing happened every day in Kidderminster but at least they made good carpets..@@Timsvideochannel1
@@barryseaton3121I came along just too late, Dr Beechings recommendations were already being carried out and many railways I'd love to have photographed in their last days had already closed such as the Somerset and Dorset. I like travelling in the former communist countries of Europe such as Slovakia and Bulgaria where many branch lines still survive, although most have lost their passenger services, there is still some seasonal freight and I find the air of dereliction about the stations fascinating. It's good to know that Kidderminster made good carpets.

Wow, a super video. Thank you. We're hoping to travel on this fine railway next year. I did however experience a strange vision when looking at items on my table. They appeared to be moving! Lol. I guess the railway sleepers going along caused it.
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed the video and if you do visit next year, I'm sure you'll find it a rewarding experience, there is a lot to see and do. Looking at moving objects, then looking at something stationary does sometimes make the stationary object appear to momentarily look as if its moving.
@@Timsvideochannel1 It was so strange. I thoroughly enjoyed the video. As a YT vlogger myself, I was impressed by your editing. We have recently been on the WSR from Minehead. All the best.
@@npr1300A8 Hi, the WSR is well worth visiting, I hope you enjoyed your time there. I took a look at your channel, some great stuff there. I enjoyed my motorcycling days, a great way to jump the ever growing queues in my part of the world. Owning a motor cycle is great excuse to get out enjoy the countryside. Cheers. Tim.
@Timsvideochannel1 Hi Tim. Good to meet a fellow motorcycle enthusiast. There is nothing quite like the freedom of the open road...especially as I was, able to share with my best friend and soulmate. I don't ride anymore sadly. All the best to you.
It's been a long time since I last rode a motorcycle, I was a exhilarating experience until a policeman's daughter recognised one of her fathers colleagues in his police car as she pulled out of a side road straight into me, I walked away from the accident and bought a car shortly afterwards. The lady in question was prosecuted for dangerous driving, but her father was a most unpleasant high ranking policeman who did his best to intimidate me. I did think I might get a bike again, but I got used to the comfort of a car and my girlfriends mum banned her from riding pillion.
So nice videos

Well done to the P/W chap,s, concrete sleeper,s and canted on curves. The first halt look,s a great camping spot?
I'm sure the permanent way guys will enjoy reading your comment. There are several camping and caravan sites along the route, beautiful scenery and one the country’s finest heritage railways adds up to a winning combination.
Watched on my home theatre . Loved watching the video, But, the audio was mono , if it was surround sound , it would have been great!!!
Hi, I'm pleased you enjoyed the video. I use the latest GoPro cameras and to the best of my knowledge the inbuilt mics are mono unless wind noise reduction is turned off. I could use external stereo mics, but that would make it difficult to mount in the short time I typically have to set everything up, hopefully GoPro will come up with a suitable solution.
I'm wondering, how does it come that the semaphore signal seen from the rear at 23:12 shows the "off" position (arm tilted in to the lower quadrant) for the opposite direction? Should it not protect against a movement leaving the station in the opposite direction of ours, that potentially could come into conflict with the train we arrive on?
Here in Italy, along the single-track railway lines without an electrical block (therefore managed with the telephone block or with a similar system), the semaphore-type signals of a given station were set free during the periods in which the station railway was "disabled" (no crossings, right-of-way, shunting, etc.) and the signals were not supposed to protect level crossings.
In fact, in the railway station in question we do not notice the exchange of the token (or the pilot stick) between the traffic operator (in Italy station master or movement manager) and the train driver. Therefore I suppose that at that moment the railway station was actually "disabled" and excluded from the distancing (that is, it did not perform the function of the blocks-system consensus exchange point, through the token-block or similar).
Signalling block systems enable the safe and efficient operation of railways by preventing collisions between trains. The basic principle is that a track is broken up into a series of sections or "blocks". Only one train may occupy a block at a time, and the blocks are sized to allow a train to stop within them. That ensures that a train always has time to stop before getting dangerously close to another train on the same line. The block system is referred to in the UK as the method of working, in the US as the method of operation, and in Australia as safeworking.
Token block
Main article: Token (railway signalling)
Authority to occupy a block is provided by physical possession of a token by train staff that is obtained in such a way that ensures that only one train is in a section of track at a time.
Ordinary train staff (OTS)
A driver approaching a single track section would get the token, and uses it as the authority to enter the block section. He would surrender the token at the other end of the section. This caused problems if one train was to be followed by another in the same direction, as the staff would not be at the correct end after the first train.
Ordinary train staff and ticket (OTST) or (OTS&T)
Ordinary train staff (OTS) was therefore extended: if one train was to be followed by another in the same direction, the driver of the first train was required to be shown the token, but not take possession of it (in theory he was supposed to physically touch the token, but this was not strictly followed). He was given a written authority to enter the single line section, referred to as the ticket. He could then proceed, surrendering the ticket at the other end of the section, and a second train could follow in possession of the staff.
There weren't many trains operating at the time, so there wasn't a need for all the block sections to be operational, some were switched out. When this happens the signals in that section are left in the off position almost as if they weren't there.
These videos are great watched two so far. I have been on the footplate on the Severn Valley Railway on the now departed Black 5 for a ride. I am now a volunteer at Bewdley restoring the carriages when I can.
Hi, it must have been fun to ride the footplate of a Black Five and you along the rest of the volunteers are doing a great job keeping this railway up together. I'm glad you enjoyed the videos. Cheers. Tim.
Like something out of the 1930s. Hard to tell the difference between now and then, when you're going down that track. Railway stations too.
The people at the railway have done a wonderful job in recreating a little bit of the past for us all to enjoy.
