Heavy showers meant  no walk along the river, but straight up to the station at Arley. 7812 was first in, backwards, then 3802 on its first passenger train since arriving a few weeks ago, also backwards. After they departed it was sandwich time, and await the arrival of the next train – which was 50135 on the diesel turn.

KC looked for the sheep, but only saw 2 of them, as we waited for the next trains. 3802 was in first from Kidderminster, then 5164 from Bridgnorth.

It was “Peep Behind the Scenes” weekend, with workshops open to visitors etc. but not for us today.
