The Severn Valley Railway has announced the return of its famous Ghost and Scream Trains this October. 

For those who dare to venture into the darkness, the heritage railway will be hosting special Halloween services towards the end of the half-term holiday. 

The Ghost and Scream Trains will be setting forth into the night on Saturday, October 26, Wednesday, October 30 and Thursday, October 31. 

Lewis Maddox, the SVR's visitor engagement manager, said: "Our spooky Halloween-themed adventure starts and ends at Kidderminster Station. 

"But beware, these experiences are not for the faint-hearted and things most definitely do go bump in the night."

The railway advises that the Scream Train is only suitable for those over 18. 

Both the Scream Train and Ghost Train services need to be booked in advance. 

Each child on the Ghost Train experience will receive a goodie bag with the journey running from Kidderminster to Arley and back. 

Tickets for both experiences are selling quickly and availability is now limited.
