Update 831. Day 1 of SVR Autumn Steam Gala, 20/09/13

The first day always seems to start at Kidderminster for me, probably because I travel there by train. 925 was on the first departure to Bridgnorth, 46233 on the second. 4936 should’ve been on the third but it left the stock behind & ran light towards Bewdley –  apparently 46233 had brake problems and had been taken off the train at Bewdley. 43106 then took over the train 4936 should’ve hauled. I travelled to Hampton Loade to see Metropolitan no. 1, stopping off at Arley on the way. A reasonable set of photos but had to head off home mid afternoon.

925 departing from Kidderminster, shame about the coach shunted in the way a few minutes earlier!
