Severn Valley Railway considering options to conserve coal stocks
Bosses at Severn Valley Railway say they are looking at a number of possible measures in order to conserve stocks of coal.
It comes as steam railway attractions elsewhere in the country have announced changes to services.
The Llangollen Railway in Mid Wales has decided not to buy any more Russian coal meaning it will probably have to reduce services, with the high cost of liquid fuel also impacting diesel-based trains
East Lancashire Railway reported this month that its operation of steam locomotives was being rationalised to busier days and dining services due to the uncertainties regarding the supply of coal.
A spokeswoman for SVR, which runs from Bridgnorth to Kidderminster, said: "The Severn Valley Railway is looking at a number of possible measures in order to conserve its stocks of coal, and will announce these in the near future."
