On Sunday 16 July some 80 Ukrainian refugees presently living in the South Shropshire and North Herefordshire area, together with members of local support groups, enjoyed a day out on the Severn Valley Railway.
The day was organised by the North Herefordshire and South Shropshire Ukraine Support Group and the Ludlow Refugee Support Group, and was funded by the Rotary Clubs of Knighton and Ludlow.
It comprised a trip by steam-drawn train from Bridgnorth to Highley, where the refugees enjoyed a picnic lunch and a tour of the numerous steam locomotives and other exhibits in the Engine House Visitor Centre, before returning by train to Bridgnorth.
