    I think his idea of showing what goes on behind the scenes is a total winner as before I started volunteering I had no idea of what was required to ensure the railway can run. Lets have more !!!!!

    Love this, the video & production quality is excellent, no idea how you managed to achieve this in such a dark location. I could watch this all day. Thank you.

    The SVR is professional in everything it does, including promotion and information. An excellent presentation by vitally important backroom guys who deserve their moment in the sun. Great stuff.

      Great we need more younger people to volunteer to keep the railway going. I don't volunteer with the locomotive department but I volunteer on another important part of the railway which is the Bewdley carriage and wagon department. There are loads of different roles available on the railway.
