Shareholder email addresses
It is much more cost effective if we can send the annual accounts information (and also the annual shareholders' newsletter) to shareholders by email rather than by post. We would be grateful therefore, if you agree, to receive your email address in order to do this. This will also enable us to keep you up to date with current activities on the Railway.
​
Please note that your email address is confidential and will not be used for non-SVR activities. Simply click on 'Shareholder Mailing List Preferences' below and complete the form.

Car Parking
Please note that we have made changes to the car parking arrangements at Kidderminster and Bridgnorth Stations.
Both sites have Automatic Numberplate Recognition cameras fitted at all entrances and exits from the car parks. This has been done at no cost to the SVR but removes the need for our staff to handle any cash.
All shareholders must now pay to park. The entitlement to complimentary parking for Gold and Platinum shareholders was removed last year in the changes to the benefits system. To operate the car parking machines located in the car parks, you will need to enter your car registration number and make a card payment. To pay with cash you will have to visit the booking office at the station.
Changes of address
Would all shareholders please note that changes of address should be advised in writing direct to our registrars at the following address:
Denise Pearce, Neville Registrars, Neville House, Steelpark Road, Halesowen, B62 8HD
Tel. 0121 585 1131
Email denise@nevilleregistrars.co.uk
​
After each mailing to shareholders we receive a number of returned envelopes marked ‘Gone Away’, which of course incurs postage costs and means that the shareholder may not receive the necessary communication at the appropriate time. It would therefore be most helpful if any changes were advised to Nevilles as soon as possible.
Neville's can also help with share transfers and matters of probate.
