THE Severn Valley Railway (SVR) is carefully watching its finances due to the impact of Covid-19.
The SVR (Holdings) Plc accounts for 2020 showed a loss of nearly £500,000 – and with restrictions and lockdowns having continued in 2021, a larger deficit is forecast this year. “We are still feeling the impact of the pandemic and will do for many years. There are still uncertainties, and recovery is going to be long and hard,” said general manager Helen Smith.
