Forecast not very good so KC had her walk round the park instead of going to Arley. We caught the train 11.15 from Kidder, hauled by 4566, to Highley. On the way we passed 43106 at Bewdley on a Footplate Experience train, then 5164 at Arley. At Highley we headed for the Ship Inn for lunch. We had never been there before, but I’m sure we will be going back again!!

Eating our meal, we heard the diesel working the southbound train, then as we walked back to the station 43106 was seen passing through. Our train, the 1.09, was hauled by 50044 – I was expecting a steamer but 2 diesels were out today. D1062 was the diesel we had heard earlier, we crossed it at Bewdley.

The camera stayed in the bag, but I’m sure you can visualise all the trains I have seen today.
