You have to make the most of the sunny weather and 3 train timetable, well, 4 with the diner, as it’s back to the 2 train timetable during the week for the rest of the month. Bewdley again for lunch, arrived just as 3802 was entering platform 1 – very slowly, 7802 was on the train from Bridgnorth. Half an hour or so later, 7812 headed the diner towards Bridgnorth. Finally it was 43106 on the 4th train, which took me back to Kidderminster.

On my own & using public transport today. As I stepped off the bus at Bewdley, 3802 was heading across the viaduct towards Bridgnorth. The other 2 locos seen were 5164 & 43106, the latter taking me back to Kidderminster.

Not the usual walk today, as village fete or whatever in Arley village, meaning loads of traffic and the car park probably full – so we went to Bewdley instead. KC had her walk along the riverbank before going to the station for our sandwiches & a cuppa. Only saw 4 of the trains, D8188 was on the diesel turn & 3802, 5164 & 7812 were the other locos. No doubt 43106 was the one I didn’t see.

Whilst at Bewdley I heard the Berkeley flask train was on the way back & booked via Kidderminster, so it was a fast walk back to the car and then off to Stourbridge as I didn’t want to miss it – especially as it was hauled by a pair of 37s.

5 train service again, 50135 on the diesel turn today. Same steam locos as Saturday – 3802, 5164, 7812 & 43106. Bit of a downpour as we were eating our sandwiches, just as the Limited came in, but it didn’t last long.

First trains I’ve seen since Sunday, having withdrawal symptoms. Not a day for photos as dull & wet, which means I have to try & remember the locos – so here we go…..

11.54 at Bewdley and 5764 was on the train to Bridgnorth, 5164 was heading to Kidderminster. The Diner was running today and was hauled by 7812, and the 4th loco was 43106, on the 1.13 to Kidderminster.
