Driver's Eye View - Version 2 - Severn Valley Railway - Kidderminster to Bridgnorth with no 'e'

Having made a rather embarrassing faux pas in the first version of this video (there is no 'e' in Bridgnorth), a mistake that was picked up on by a surprisingly large number of eagle eyed viewers, I decided to post a corrected version of the video. I hope the good people of Bridgnorth will forgive me. The original video will remain for a week or two before it becomes an unlisted video, although it will still be available using this link for those wishing to read the comments - • Driver's Eye View - Se...
The Severn Valley Railway is the heritage railway that has it all - tunnels, viaducts, beautifully restored stations and the impressive Victoria Bridge over the River Severn, at the time of construction, the 200-foot railway bridge was the longest single span cast iron bridge in Britain. The railway is home to a substantial fleet of locomotives, both steam and diesel, complimented by a large collection of railway carriages representing all regions of Britain's railways. There is a museum at Kidderminster and the station is an authentic recreation of GWR terminus. Bridgnorth station is close to the attractive town, divided into upper and lower town, the town is connected to the station via a substantial footbridge and the steepest inland funicular railway in Britain connects the two halves of the town. Taking 9 years to construct, the line was opened in 1862, today's Severn Valley Railway was originally part of the much longer Shrewsbury to Hartlebury line. The Bewdley to Kidderminster section opened in 1878 and like many railways in the area was operated by the GWR. The line served the local community and transported coal from mines served by the railway to nearby power stations as well as customers further afield. The end came in 1963 when passenger services were withdrawn, a mere two years later a plan to save the Severn Valley line was hatched in a pub.
I owe a massive thank you to the staff, footplate crew and volunteers who assisted me in shooting this video. Please join me for a trip with BR Standard 4MT 4-6-0 locomotive No.75069, designed by R.A. Riddles for mixed traffic use on secondary routes.

I had to laugh at the "with no 'e' " part, but that's because anyone who doesn't know the area would assume it was misspelled without the 'e' instead of misspelled with it. It's one of those "it's funny because it's true" moments. 😆 (Nice video, too. I love these old trains.)

[@Timsvideochannel1]

I think I'll remember the correct spelling for Bridgnorth from now on. I'm glad you enjoyed the ride, the SVR is up there with best of best.

We all make spelling mistakes, so don't be too hard on yourself. I know the Severn Valley Railway too well, my Dad took me there twice every month each year a long time ago. His ashes have been scattered there, because in 1999, he committed suicide because of something my Stepmum said to him. If I manage to spend a day on my favourite preserved railway, I know he'll be sharing a ride with me. Love you, Daddy. Thankyou for everything you did for me.

[@Timsvideochannel1]

Thank you for being so understanding. Our Dads are always special to us and I can understand how you feel when you say you feel as if your dad is sharing the ride with you. I miss my Dad too, he loved the countryside and he could bring a simple hedgerow to life by showing me all the wildlife living in the hedge and the nearby undergrowth. When I'm walking in countryside, I feel as though my father is with me, its a nice feeling. Cheers Dad, I miss you.

Hi Tim. Can you tell us exactly what day this was filmed? Thanks.

[@richardgriffiths5920]

Well at least you were man enough to admit the error. Here in Nova Scotia we have a Bridgewater in Lunenburg County on the south shore plus a Bridgetown in the Annapolis Valley ( both with e's) and in Somerset, England there's a Bridgwater (no e), so I can wholly understand the confusion.

[@Timsvideochannel1]

Hi, it was only after my mistake was bought to my attention that I realised the existence of the different spellings for the same word (Bridge) - 'RHS Garden Bridgewater, Salford', 'Bridgewater Hall is Manchester', 'The Bridgewater Canal is a 39-mile (65km) canal stretching from Runcorn to Leigh in Northwest England', Bridgwater in Somerset. The English language can be confusing at times. A look at this website indicates Bridgnorth is often misspelt (Misspelled) - www.alamy.com/stock-photo/bridgenorth.html?sortBy=relevant - hover over each picture to see the spelling. Thank you for your understanding 😊.

[@richardgriffiths5920]

I know as it gets very confusing and this is why our language is the most difficult to learn for so many people, even those who were born in Great Britain. Love your videos and I made a mistake myself by missing out Shropshire after mentioning Worcestershire in my original comment regarding Sir Edwards Elgar..@@Timsvideochannel1
