Update 348. 6201 Princess Elizabeth on the Britannia Banker at Langley Green. 29/05/10
6201 replaced 70013, which was unavailable, and is seen passing Langley Green on the outward trip to Didcot. Weather a bit on the “damp” side, but had just about stopped raining as the train came through.
Much better here than at Old Hill
Princess Elizabeth
Lizzie through Langley Green at 0837, in the rain.
Update 347, 37603 hauling 20303, 20313, 20307 & 20314 through Dorridge. 26/05/10
The 37 was used to move the 20s from Eastleigh to Carnforth. Always worth making the effort to see such a working!
A few DMUs & a 66 are also seen, but the “oldies” are the best
Update 346. 50135 on Footplate Experience, also 7812 & 43106 at Bewdley, Severn Valley Railway. 28/05/10
The bonus today was 50135, good job really – as both steam locos were tender-first when seen passing through Bewdley.
The 50 looks great in that livery when the sun is shining
Update 345. 4566 & 7812 at Bewdley, Severn Valley Railway. 27/05/10
Called in for lunch & saw both trains running.
Only 3 photos, just a record of what was running
The dreaded computer failure
My laptop packed up on Monday morning. When I switched it on, 1 long bleep & 2 short bleeps and nothing displayed on the screen. Still under warranty so gone for repair.
Had to set up the old desktop pc to deal with e-mails, so still stumbling along from day to day.
DRS Convoy, Class 37 hauling 4 Class 20s
Saw this passing through Dorridge, more photos to upload later.
Update 344. 4566, 5164, 7812, 42968 & 43106 at the Severn Valley Railway. 23/05/10
On this 40th Anniversary weekend I photographed trains at Arley & Highley. There is a small album which just shows the special hauled by 43106, but this update includes all the trains seen today.
At least there weren’t so many locos running “backwards” during the time I was there, yesterday must have been “one of those days”. Anyway, a shot of the special hauled by 43106.
Update 343. 43106 heads 40th Anniversary Train on the Severn Valley Railway, 23/05/10
40 years ago, on 23rd May 1970, the first public service train on the reopened Severn Valley Railway departed from Bridgnorth at 2pm. At that time, the line was only open as far as Hampton Loade, but today the commemorative special ran the full length of the line to Kidderminster.
These photos are also included in the “23rd May” SVR album.
Highley
Leaving Highley behind 7812 at 15.35.
Didn’t forget my Highley Slice!
That’s it for today
