Around Birmingham | Spirited Away-Inspired Vintage Steam Train 🚂
📍 Severn Valley Railway etrain Getting There : A 50-minute train ride from Birmingham New Street Station to Kidderminster Station. The steam train station is right outside the exit. 🚂 🎫 Ticket Prices : Adults £25-£30 round trip, children £15. Booking three days in advance on the official website is the cheapest! Tickets bought on the day will be more expensive. I highly recommend the full route from Kidderminster to Bridgnorth (with six stops in total; you can get off at any station along the way). The entire journey takes about 1.5 hours. Kidderminster Station: The red-brick platform and steam locomotive give off a strong vintage vibe! 🌊 Bridgnorth Station: This cliff-edge station offers panoramic views of the River Severn. 🌸 In spring, during April and May, the fields of rapeseed flowers and lush valleys make every train window a natural picture frame! The train features a vintage dining car where you can enjoy English tea and scones. 🍵 Upon arrival in Bridgnorth, you can explore the town, visit the church, grab a meal, or relax by the river at a café. Taking a steam train like the one from Hogwarts is a fantastic way to experience life in old Britain! ‼️ Tips : Steam and diesel trains alternate, so check your ticket times to avoid boarding the wrong train. Also, keep your ticket handy as it may be checked during the journey. #birminghamlife #birmingham #birminghamsurroundings #birminghamweekend #steamtrain
