Being more than a bit of an anorak I've been here several times and it's a fine pub, nine handpumps two with cider the rest with the products of small West Midlands breweries. Both rooms are decorated in Victorian/Edwardian style and of course a good amount of pictorial and hardware railway porn, most as Soupy hints with a GWR theme. (They did of course build the place). The room with the counter is at one end of the front of the station where the town centre is reached via the new bridge, the back room opens onto the platform and that is where the toilets are. Pork pies are sold here although I prefer those sold in Bathams pubs. You can also sit on the platform and watch the trains as you sup or you can take beer away on the train in a disposable “glass”.

A pub in a converted part of the station. Inside has two rooms, though in effect it is one large room. Painted in GWR green it seems, the place is covered with railway memorabilia (big shock there then) and World War II replica posters. Service was really good.
Beerwise; Burton Bridge Stairway to heaven; Hobsons Town Crier; Sixbells Big Nevs, Slaters Owzat, 3 Tuns Stout, Bathams best. The stout was fine, the Bathams fantastic. The Hobsons MILD sadly went as we arrived, but we found this replaced by Tring's Mansion MILD - also quality
This place wasnt heaven's waiting room, it was heaven, as far as pubs go for someone like me. We just finished our beers in time to get out before a GWR Pannier Tank pulled in with the next train and they all alighted to pop in the pub.
I must stress this pub hit all the notes for me at that visit so i will score it extremely well

Excellent venue for steam railway buffs and real ale drinkers.A very good range of real ales.Hungry visitors may be dissapointed as small snacks are available only.

It seems that nearly everyone getting off the Severn Valley Railway trains heads straight for this pub, and with good reason. Excellent selection of quality beers, just get in quick before the crowds.
