Fares cut on Severn Valley
By: Web Editor
Youngsters’ fares on the Severn Valley Railway in Bridgnorth are being cut over the summer holidays.
It means instead of £8 for the full-line round trip, tickets for those aged four to 15 years will be £1.
The railway’s Kids for a Quid promotion is running until 31 August in conjunction with free admission to the Engine House Visitor Centre at Highley for ticketholders.
SVR general manager Nick Ralls said: “By reducing our fares for accompanied children to just £1 we’re making the railway a more attractive proposition to families, and what we lose in fare revenue, we will hopefully make up by running fuller trains.”
To qualify for the £1 fare, children need to be accompanied by an adult who buys a return ticket to travel on the line. The offer is also valid for the SVR’s 'special event' days.
