We caught the DMU at Bewdley at 11.44 to go to Arley. As we waited to depart, 4566 arrived from Arley with 46443 at the rear of the train, problems with steam heating.
After lunch at Arley we waited the arrival of 7812 on the diner before returning on the DMU. Back at Bewdley, 46443 was [...]

Bewdley to Highley & return for us today. 11.44 DMU going, 4566 back after lunch. Good to see the DMU out again, plenty of people travelling – no doubt the sunny weather encouraged them out.

Update 273. West Somerset Spring Gala, 24/03/02
January 28th, 2010 by Sharpo
Some more old photos. Makes a change from the usual SVR ones, although seeing 1501 down there made me feel at home. We don’t do the long days out now we have the dog, so it makes a change for me – seeing some different locos, even though they are just photos. Good to see [...]

Continuing with old photos, a drive out to Bourton on the Water and the opportunity to photograph something different for a change. It’ s really nice with the stream running through the village.

Update 270. Photos at the Battlefield Line, 02/03/02
January 27th, 2010 by Sharpo
Working through my old photos, these were some of the first I took with a 1.6 megapixel camera. Quality not what we are used to, but for me it is a memory of a day out. Lamport No. 3, 03170, 31130 & D9525 are seen working.

A diesel photo, for a change…

Update 269. 66063 & 66953 at Bromsgrove, 25/01/10
January 26th, 2010 by Sharpo
The plan had been to see a Class 31 on a Test Train working to the south west, but that ran extremely late (several hours) and I didn’t see it.
The Margam to Corby was already in the loop, with banker ready, but the Croft to Brierley Hill did make it less of a wasted journey.

SVR 24th January
January 25th, 2010 by Sharpo
We (that’s us 2 +dog) travelled from Bewdley to Arley on the 11.44 hauled by 7812. 43106 had worked the first train from Kidderminster, crossing with our train at Bewdley.
The plan was to return behind 7812 when it returned from Highley. I was all prepared for a photo of the diner approaching the station before [...]

Knowing that the kiosk at Arley would be open, we walked KC to Bewdley for a ride to Arley. 43106 was on our train, 7812 on the other.
It’s not the time of year for hanging around on stations, so we headed back to Bewdley when 43106 returned from Highley.
