SVR 27th June

Brief visit to Arley. 7812 on a northbound train, crossing with 42968. Later on, 46443 arrived with the GW dining set, ran round then back towards Kidderminster.

It is a 40s weekend, and a Spitfire flew over. Another ‘plane scheduled for tomorrow, so I’ll take a camera. The forecast for today was heavy showers but we were back home well before the rain started, and only a few spots so far.

Update 148. 37607 & 37218 on 1Q13 at old Hill & Stourbridge

This was a real treat, the opportunity to see the same train 4 times at  a cost of just £1.90 – the train fare to Stourbridge & return!

First photos as it passes through Old Hill on the way to Hartlebury, where it reversed. Next photos at Stourbridge on the way to Round Oak. Then again at Stourbridge on the return to Hartlebury, and finally back through Old Hill.

It doesn’t get much more dull than this, 13.09 at Old Hill in drizzle:-

I was going to stand at the end of the platform where there was no shade from the trees – good job I didn’t, as the dmu would have blocked the view!
