Running an hour late, and of course in the dark, 66429 works 4M36 up the Dark Side. There is always the problem of a DMU passing at the same time as an up train & tonight was no exception, but at least the freight was clear of the station this time.

It’s Monday, 6M56 runs today, where shall I go? After much thought I decided on Rowley Regis. The train was running a few minutes early and appeared to be running immediately after the stopper, but it was booked to follow a later train, even though it ran through Stourbridge before it. Anyway, I believe it must’ve stopped in Stourbridge loop to let the DMU pass. A couple of DMUs passed through Rowley during the short time I waited, so I filmed them as well.

I travelled by main line train to Kidderminster to see the first departure from the SVR station to Bridgnorth. I think all the worthwhile videos have now been edited and uploaded, so I will list them so that you can pick any that you wish to view.

Final video, behind D8059 from Bewdley up to the tunnel
I also attended on the second day, but only travelled as far as Bewdley, so there will be some different views there. As yet, the videos have not been edited.
