From SVR Wiki
I (Daniel Evans) am a volunteer signalman on the SVRSevern Valley Railway, often seen with a cup of tea in hand whilst leaning out of a box window (providing the weather isn't too adverse...).
I have, somewhat unintentionally (!), ended up taking care of most of the back-end of this website - if something looks like it's a bit broken, I might be able to give some assistance!
If something seems urgently broken, the quickest method to get my attention is probably to Email me - you could also try contacting the other administrators.
