Update 739. Severn Valley Railway Spring Gala day 3, 24/03/13

The last day of the Gala. I wanted a ride on the auto train & caught the local to Arley behind 65, and there was just time to get my sandwich & jam sponge before 1450 was due to depart. My plan was to change trains at Bewdley & head back to Arley to see 34007 arrive. 1501 was waiting at Bewdley & I was soon on the way back to Arley. Fortunately 34007 arrived before the northbound trains, so a good opportunity of some photos of it approaching the station. 2 trains were booked to cross it here, 34053 on the first with 10 coaches, then 4566 with the Diner. Having taken many photos over the previous 2 days, and feeling rather cold, I caught the train headed by 34007 and returned to Kidderminster.

Another 75 photos from Saturday have been added since the last update. They were taken at Arley, then some more at Highley before returning to Kidderminster.
