Eardington station is the smallest station on the Severn Valley Railway, with trains usually running straight through, except during galas.

The railway’s upcoming Branch Line Weekend on the 28th February and 1st March will see the station shine with 23 trains scheduled to stop during the event.

The event celebrated 35 years since the railways’ first DMU arrived, with a range of locomotives set to appear, including Class 108 DMUs, GWR 1450, and GWR 7714.

Visitors will be able to enjoy a historic weekend, visiting the restored station for a standard price. Further information and tickets can be found on their website.
