Limited service due to the loop at Hampton Loade being out of action, so we timed our visit to Arley to see the trains cross at 12.40.

7812 was working the train for Bridgnorth, 5164 on the one for Kidderminster. Thinking it would be a long wait for the next train, we headed back across the river, but then heard the whistle of an approaching train – it was a charter, headed by 4566, at least we saw it in the distance as it passed through Arley non stop.
